I wouldn’t call it cringe, but there’s something odd about whoever posted this thread. I guess it’s not just me because PPs are picking up on it too.

I guess if people from NYC are on DCUM, then why is it so weird for teens to be on it? We know they lurk here....

Anyway, I think it's a nice idea.

Cringe.

Cringe? You know what is "cringe" - parents using that term while trying bully some well meaning young adult high school students who are offering their views and experiences. That's "cringe."

Ok, I get it, you’re the mom that “suggested” they do this. Still cringe.

It's a mom posing as a teen.

Why IB and not AP?

np.. why are parents so nasty here? How many threads have we had where parents ask about RMIB. Here we have a student willing to answer questions, and you're all dumping on them.

*cringe*

I had a kid at RMIB (now in college), and I've answered question about RMIB on here, but the answers would've been better coming from the person who went through the program, not a second hand person like the parent.

Lol. I'm happy to see teens admit they are here. I was suspicious that there were teens on here.

Welcome...here you will get insight into your parents' deepest fears, a masterclass on divorce pro and cons, and early entry into the upper middle class rat race of ensuring that your future kids are conventionally successful!

It's indeed quite precocious of you to be here. So, I'll play along and ask questions:

1) IB - why is it important to you - in your own words...not the IB website's/brochures/classroom posters words.

2) How frequently do you suspect parental involvement in significant/award winning school projects? (Honest question here, because the son of a guy who tried to cheat off me in high school won a national prize at 16 that seems suspiciously related to his dad's PhD.)

3) What fraction of your classes interest you, vs. "you have to take it".

Thanks. And feel free to stick around!

What’s RMIB?

how does Junior year workload compare to the other years?

What’s your social lives like?

Hi all--we know that taking advice my anonymous strangers on the internet is tempting but you really should not.

Go to the events. Shadow if you can. Thank-you.

Hi all--we know that many families are currently deciding where to enroll for high school, so if you have any questions about RMIB we're more than happy to answer them. If you aren't already planning to, we definitely recommend attending the incoming student event next Monday night as well as the shadow days next week!
