Top 10 reasons to be an IB Diploma Candidate:

10) I want to conform to an international standard of educational excellence.
9) I want to be surrounded by other intelligent, dedicated students.
8) I want to work extremely hard.
7) I want to sacrifice almost all of my time to studying.
6) I want my class rank to be as low as it can possibly be.
5) I want to have an overwhelmingly high stress level.
4) I want to immerse myself in an environment of competition and mutual jealousy.
3) I want to burn away any vestiges of creativity or independent thought that I might have left after sophomore year.
2) I want to discover that all of the extra work I did to get the IB Diploma made absolutely no difference in my college admissions.
1) I feel masochistic.

Oh. I thought this was, "I've survived IB" not "I'm surviving it" :frown:

I think IB Survivor is good for survivors of the IB (past), and those currently in the IB who are still alive and kicking.

That's why I thought IB Survivors was a better name than IB Students, or IB whatever.

Think I should try to get it going?

It's for people who survived IB and those trying to survive it right now. Basically any past or present IB student.

Hello, my name is Graeme and I'm an IB Survivor so far. (applause)
I'm also an insomniac due to a disorder known as Ibworkloadia.

Also we need a logo... Any ideas? +rep to anyone who finds logos! :smile:

Haha it's alright. Very classic. I guess we should get a few and then vote.

The IB taught me life, and there was democracy in there somewhere.

I'll see if I find anything nice. Otherwise we will go for classic :smile:

http://www.pisd.edu/students/images/ib.logo.gif is nice.

"Academic masochists unite!"

That makes it obvious that I'm in!

I am skipping English A1 HL right now because I think if I hear one more word about Hamlet I'll collapse. How important is the oral for groups of works?

The one where you get given a passage and 15 minutes to prepare a 15 minute presentation... :redface:

TBH I dont see the point

The IB sub forum is meant to be where you get advice on the IB, so why make a soc about it??

What criteria determines if you are a supervisor??

Not needed in my opinion!

It's just so that you have a little picture and stuff so that people can see you are/were an IB student.. It's not meant to be practical, it's meant to be useless and a way of showing you are/were in the IB.

Is it such a bad idea?

That being said.. The society is http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/socs.php?do=list&page=3 at the end of the page. :smile:

As I said before, it's not about the the use, it's about showing off, etc :biggrin:

Bad? No

Pointless? Yes

People who want to be proud of the IB will stick it in their profiles or sigs.. dont need a society saying "I did IB".

Plus 'supervisor' is a bad word to use.. we dont supervise anything.
