Just curious- thoughts about IB program?

Against sanity and reason, I love IB. Its different from the AP program because if you are bad in an area, you don't take that AP class and you are ok. In IB you are required to take 6 IB classes, one in each main area, and if you don't like it, you go to tutoring and pass the class anyway. You are also required to write a big paper (EE), do community service (CAS), and take a philosophy-like class (TOK) that is not required in the AP program. In my experience standard level IB classes are easier than AP classes which are easier than higher level IB classes. I'll be graduating next year from high school with an IB diploma (four highers, two standards) and an AP diploma (after taking a total of 11 APs). My IB classes are definitely more conscious of the fact that they are IB programs and therefore need to work and teach and run at a certain level of intelligence than APs that tend to be less formal because they can be. IB closes windows in areas like social life and personal freedom to design your own schedule but the classes and work are interesting and in my opinion are most definitely worth it.
