[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] [quote=Anonymous] Oh my God no. Latin is a joke only ignorant DC parents don’t seem to get. I’d take a IB Diploma any day over whatever nonsense Latin is selling. You can say what you want about DCI, but if the kids get an ib diploma- that’s a real accomplishment. [/quote] If. DCI is projecting that only 20% of students will get one. [/quote] Where did you hear this? We're at DCI, and I haven't heard this.[/quote] Having done the IB program back in the 90s I can tell you it is not easy. Your kids papers and tests will be grades by other teachers all across the globe. Writing is a huge component of pretty much every IB subject. So don't assume that kids will be walking away with a diploma. Additionally you have to be able to sit the exams in a foreign language to be able to get a diploma. It is seriously hard! My advice, start supplementing on writing skills now! [/quote]
