Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Parenting and Advocacy middle/high school math saga continues

Building off of what I said earlier and what polarbear is saying, at my daughter's particular high school, kids often CHOOSE the IB route, because in our state, you can choose any high school you want to attend, as long as there is space. So if a kid is opting to attend this high school, IB is it's claim to fame, the brighter kids do tend to go that route. That said, my younger daughter is very strong in math, and she will probably go to a different high school that will be more AP oriented and play to her strengths. But, we have that option. Not everyone does. I think IB is great, for the right student. It certainly does not suit every kid, and I in my way meant to imply it is for the best choice for the brightest students. I have mixed feelings about it, personally.
