Your kids were able to go to bed by 10-11 without their grade suffering?? Good grades, ECs, and enough sleep in IB program?

Yes. One of them had a 4.0, the other not quite as good, but both did very well, had lots of ECs, and a social life, and excellent college results. It is my observation that some kids were required by their parents to “study” a lot every day, even after homework was finished, and I’m not convinced that this really paid off. My kids studied only for tests–and that’s really how the curriculum is set up. Time management skills are important, though, and different kids can take different amounts of time to do the same work.
