Respond to this....

A provocative post - but one of the skills of the IB is the skill to argue.

Therefore place a comment on this - and also post a comment on this blog.

    It's completely wrong to think that ALL IB SCHOOLS are scam. Some of them exist from almost a decade or more, and the idea - offering an academic preparation which guarantees the student to be prepared for every university in the world - is really a good way to globalization.

    What if every school on the world prepare its students, making possible to them the admission in any university in the world?

    Would be fantastic.

    We can't also assume all IB schools are good. There's a possibility that some of them form part in a conspiracy, but the whole IB programme shouldn't be compromised for just a couple of misunderstandings.

    For solving the problem in USA is necessary to strenghten the law when an IB School opens (or a School decides to offer IB)

    Why did the government spend all that money in the IB courses and schools, if most of all (I think, I’m not sure) of the schools offering the IB are private schools and the students have to pay to study there?

    I think that the problem there is with the US government, not with the IB, because the government is the one who needs to be stricter with schools who want to offer the course, to be sure of that they have the capacity to offer it and prepare students.

    Other thing I can say about the article is that it is focused in the bad aspects of the IB and doesn’t really explain the purpose of the course which from my perspective is really good and innovative and can be really useful nowadays.

    I agree with Luigi, to solve the problem in US is necessary a stricter system of giving permission to a school to offer the IB course.

    Yes Karla! I don't get that too! why spend the government so much taxdollar for the IB courses when the students have to pay for it?
    I think when more people publish the PRO aspects of the IB programm like Jay Mathews did there will be a higher demand!
