Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Learning Environments Experiences with the IB Diploma Program?

FWIW, My niece who also is dyslexic and ADD did survive. She went on to college, and promptly abandoned her degree upon completion. She is adrift but I doubt IB is the source of her issues. She is VERY bitter about being 2e and seems to host her own pity party on the issue. Her brother completely burned out after IB and never went to college. I don't know whether he is 2e. He pursued a career in the arts but is now realizing that he will never make a living wage on his chosen path.

My other two nephews who are HG and super organized made it through fine. One played an instrument and played a sport. The other is a senior and seems to be working very hard but unscathed.

I don't know if it is a difference in IB programs, personalities or family issues.
