SE: I am following this part of the post very carefully. Are you saying that if DD pursues the IB Diploma in and of itself, she won’t have time for ECs? Or, instead, are you saying, that if she pursues the IB Diploma IN ADDITION TO APs, that would happen.
I appreciate this is being done in the vacuum, but at DD’s school, which is an excellent, one, the IB Dip students very much do both the Diploma and APs, and do very well in going to where they want to go.
Or so I thought. After reading all this, it might be time for a father-daughter chat soon!
