Anyone here doing or has done the IB program?
It's killing me, like eating me alive. My time management skills suck, my pillow and I are strangers.  But anyway, I was looking at that schedules topic and noticed that a lot of people are taking IB classes, so how are you guys dealing? |

IB isn't that much of a drawing point here so much as it is incentive for the upper-middle class snobs around here not to move or pull their kids out of public schools because they can't handle diversity and want to shelter their stupid children.
I think we definitely have more people than 20, and although we don't have a huge percentage, I'm pretty sure it's larger than that. it's hard to drop IB classes here unless you're kicked out, so what we had was a bunch of people taking pre-IB and most of them not bothering to go for a diploma. And err, honestly I don't know why you'd be excited about IB at all. A lot of the requirements are really unnecessary, and it's pretty much impossible to have a life. Amoung our IB kids, yeah, they've gotten closer in the sense that most of their friends are in IB, but it's all stupid competition, gossip, and getting sick of each other. It's not really a positive socially. In general here, though, unless you have a real reason to aim for the diploma, it's much more sensible just to take as many certificate or AP classes as you can. |
