Part of emotional maturity is finishing what you start. Why is IB “mind deadening”? Will the OP’s son jump to an Honors program at college and find it “mind deadening” in two years? Again, I don’t know the people involved and the boy may be VERY mature, but jumping from one thing to another to keep him happy and not bored is not mature. Maturity might be finishing the program, but looking for outside programs, volunteer work, job, etc. that will fulfill him. Our HS has a program where IB students can intern locally with Drs. , lawyers, etc. after school. Perhaps this would be a better way to “liven up his mind”.
