IB isn't really that hard if you work enough to understand the material. It is, however, overwhelming if you do not pace yourself. Other than that, there are oh so many more things to complain about but my fingers hurt from typign up our G4P. Sometimes, if the math lesson is uber easy, a good number of people do sleep. at times this can also be done in Chemistry class.\n\nUm, no, the IB program did not erase my memories of youthful bliss and not knowing the reasons why the sky should even be blue (TOK).

There are IB workshops and conferences for teachers of different levels and subject matters held quite often in different parts of the world.  For example, if you are a visual arts teacher and need training, you just attend a workshop which will give you what you need to know. I've tried it, having attended one in Beijing since it's close by. The link below will help you. Or just contact the International Baccalaureate Organization.

It depends on how much work you put into it. Public school can, in fact, be really hard if you take Advanced Placement Classes, but it's worth it if you're up for a challenge. As for the rumors about the way freshmen are treated badly, those are pretty much false. Get involved. Join clubs to meet new people, go out for a sports team, or join the band. That way you'll meet kids with interests similar to yours, and you'll make friends quickly. The more you get involved, the more fun you'll have. High school can be a blast if you put effort into it!

I did not get good grades in high school, in fact, I barely graduated. But it wasn't due to a lack of intelligence. My IQ is 120. I struggled in high school only because I partied too much and didn't care to study. I was rather bored with the subject matter. In essence, I hated school.\n\nI have learned that if you are business saavy, genuinely intelligent, and do good work then I believe you will succeed in life.  As a small business owner I have found that I am doing much better financially than about 98% of the classmates I graduated with.\n\nHowever, I encourage you to try your best in high school. That's all anyone can ask of you. Do your best at everything you do in life, even if you aren't good at it or you don't succeed.

high school kicks ass...im a sophomore, and you're gonna love it. the seniors might bash on the freshman class, and so will the juniors, and the sophomores, too, but it gets better with time. take as many ACC/HN/AP classes as you can. it sucks doing it but it pays off later. \n\noh, and the popularity contest doesn't matter. just yell "screw you" at anyone that pushes you around, except seniors...they'll kill you!!!

Well, you probably already know that if all you want to do is survive, just stop doing school work. No one dies from failing to get a high school diploma. If you want to be a good student without completely stressing, do a search on time management and study skills. You could also check out "7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens"

You sleep because you are bored, if you are in highschool then i suggest you find a way to make those classes interesting without being disruptive... if you are in college then you are taking the wrong stuff... and if you are takin the classes to be what you want to be, then you should probably reconsider that career path.

Congrats on making it this far!  I'm 21, and I still don't know what I'm going to do for the rest of my life.  For now I'm taking the gen. ed. courses (the basic courses required for any degree) at a community college and trying to get some sort of administrative certification so I can make a little more money while I figure it out.  But life after high school is a LOT less stressful, especially if you DONT procrastinate.  Good luck!

HI BEACH BABE.\nI WAS LIKE YOU TOO READING ALL THESE BOOKS ABOUT SURVIVING MIDDLE SCHOOL BUT IT DIDN'T SEEM TO HELP AT ALL. I WAS SCARED BUT EXCITED AT THE SAME TIME. AT MY SCHOOL WE DON'T GET LETTER GRADES LIKE A B C F'S BUT THEY DO SAY A B C F'S  TRUST ME YOU WILL HAVE NEW FRIENDS. SOME TEACHERS DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU BUT MOST IF YOU DO GOOD THEY WILL. I AM A LITTLE SAD ABOUT LEAVING SCHOOL FOR SUMMER BREAK. YOU WILL MISS YOUR FRIENDS ALOT.\n\nGOOD LUCK IN MIDDLE SCHOOL,\nVY

im graduating into high school too.  how funny.  we can probly expect almost th same thing...my fiend is in high school, and she told me that its the same, except the boys are more into girls, and the girls are more dramatic.  and the teachers are harder and meaner. (well she didnt say meaner, exactly..)

god, I am not letting my brother join ib. its probably more convenient to just take Advanced Placement classes without the hooplah of the IB program. Its probably based on my experiences with friends who got stupid and missed one exam and was denied that stupid special diploma until they completed that final exam and passed. Better to just stay AP.

Hi there.\n\nThe high school I went to was LAME!  However, being that I was a studious student, college was a breeze.  I'm now done with my Masters.  I received honors for all of my degrees.\n\nTexas, USA
