[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] Wow - this is eye opening. I did not realize they grade on a curve - no wonder these kids are under so much stress if they are competing with each other. It also sounds like a lot of the pressure is self generating - they are trying to distinguish themselves from their classmates on their college apps. I wonder if it is like this at Blair SMAC.[/quote] I don't have any experience with RM IB but I know there is no curve grading in Blair SMAC. Of course Blair kids will still be still be stressed sometimes, but it's mostly because they have high expectations of themselves and a lot of extracurricular commitments. Overall the social environment is quite healthy and relaxed; there are also tons of spaces for electives junior/senior year.[/quote] My kid's at RMIB. No curve grading as far as I know. Not sure what PP was referring to. [/quote]
