<p>Ugh…IB Theory of Knowledge (pops hedache medicine and rubs temples.) Memories.</p>
<p>Jaylynn and Twogirls, I’m glad the IB curriculum is working out for your daughters. I think that’s great. I did not mean to knock the IB program. Although I feel we were mislead about the end result, I have no doubt in my mind the curriculim prepared me for college and blessed my mind with a well rounded eduation, but I stand by the advice I gave the OP. If the schools that her daughter is applying to don’t recognize the IB program, and the hard truth is more don’t than do, even the private schools, it might not be worth it to earn the diploma, since her daughter will be very pressed for time this summer. </p>
<p>For giggles, I called my sister who sent her daughter to the same high school I went to (they are still offering the IB program.) My neice didn’t go full IB at all. She took IB English 1 (jr yr) and 2 (sr yr) and IB Precalc jr) and IB Calculus (sr). She scored 6’s on both IB exams, and, according to my sister, THAT is what got her some college credit, because Stanford only acknowledges test scores of 5 and higher. My neice graduated from Stanford last year, so it’s fairly recent.</p>
