[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To me, not really. The actual diploma program is so stress inducing that it's not worth it nor will it give a significant advantage over someone who just took a bunch of IB classes . At the end of the day, someone taking a bunch of IB classes is in the same classes as the IBDP students except the[b] IBDP students have to do a research extensive long form essay.[/b][/quote]
This is a good thing to prepare kids for college.   Every former IBDP student I have spoken to said that the IBDP made college a cake walk. And it's better for the kids to be stressed while at home with support at home than when they are away at college.[/quote]

Literally every kid my daughter goes to school with who opted for the IBDP wanted out and regretted losing so much of their high school experience the last 2 yrs because of this. [/quote]
Indeed, IBDP is not for everyone. Not everyone can hack it.[/quote]

Not true. Everyone CAN hack it, if they truly want it. Is it worth it, as the thread question asks? No.[/quote]
