[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You’re not asking the right question.
The question should be is IB diploma path the right fit for my child.

Know your child & also [b]Know the reputation of the IB Teachers at your HS [/b]
It’s like asking is a medical degree worth it. 
Ask is a medical degree the right fit for my child, and what’s hen reputation of the medical program

In retrospect - My DS1 did full IB, he’s thriving in college but he could have done all AP instead. The IB teachers at his HS were pompous and not responsive when we reached for help. The program was not a good fit for him.

AP would have been a bitter fit because those teachers are strong and supportive, DS2 did the AP route and I couldn’t believe the day and night difference between the quality of the teachers.

Good luck !

+1. Know if they are small minded, for example if your kid decided not to sign up for another year (year 2) of a class that is offered at Standard level and also at Higher level and teacher uses it against the kid for not signing up for year 2 (which was not a requirement).[/quote]
