Hey, just thought all IB students should check out this site:

http://www.truthaboutib.com/home.html

Very funny website, which is quite seriously against the IB.
Laugh, get angry, or use it to discuss in TOK!

Feel free to discuss

People always think the IBs in our college are weird. But we're really not.

I hate how people are naturally biased towards us. Teachers in the college (who don't teach IB) have been heard saying that all IBs are arrogant and weird and that they wish we weren't in the college.

A guy came from France to stay at our college for a few days. Our IBC happens to be quite high in the college so he said he thought it would be best if the guy stayed with us because we all do languages and we're meant to be internationally minded.

My friend was sitting in the languages library and his teacher was in there. A geography teacher had the guy staying at her house and she walked in. My friend's teacher asked how the guy was settling in and the woman said: 'Oh, fine... it's a shame he has to hang around with the IBs though. They're so strange. I feel for him.' My friend's teacher apologised to him straight away and the geography teacher said nothing.

We are forced to have to constantly defend ourselves... it's no wonder we're cult-esque.

IB is evil. Or my schools version

[intensecogitation]

IB is quite the peculiar self-imposed cult

[Naala]

"Structure all or most activities so that there is little time for privacy or independent action or thought, provide a sense of "us" versus "them";
- This is very relevant to IB. Over and over again TAIB has read of stressed out students who have to give up music and other activities and are up until 4:00 AM doing IB homework."

Aren't those usually the students who left their homework till the last minute?

Not necessarily. Sometimes schools like to assign all their IAs and major deadlines in the same two weeks. -_-

At our school IB and A-levels are taught along side each other, the IB students were the most organised before we started yet they spend the most "free time" working. The IB is new to the school and the teachers heavily favour the IB students over A-level students. There is not such a but cult as in some colleges because for languages A-levels and IB are taught together, though this is not the case in science.
