  • I wouldn't cry about IB and it's strict rules but to your "friend" whom you firstly sent the IA to (should NEVER be done) and also (s)he copied it... it's IB's fault :/?

    I did IB, got good grades in it and now I'm doing Chemical Engineering in the UK and have an average of 20% HIGHER compared to the average A-level student... please... just stfu.

  • O my gosh. This is ridiculous. How do you not know what the word collusion is?

  • lol dumbass.

  • Yeah, those children at @6:00? They don't pay the exam fees. You pay for them.

  • Your whole argument is that you are bitter because you cheated and they caught you. Forgive me, but I do not respect that. The lesson you should have learned is "don't fuck up".

    In regards to your exam funding quibbles; much of that money goes towards expanding the IB program into impoverished areas. That fee falls on developed nations, where we can actually pay for it and it goes towards providing a solid education for those who may not have access to it. Suck it up, IB helps people. You don't.

  • I Will Pray For You! Cause you apparently can't realize your faults... Jesus Loves You

  • sounds like someone's a little bitter...

  • You sent an IA to a friend?

    lol

  • IB *is* very elitist. This vid was a bit sensationalist, but even disregarding the extraneous personal costs incurred, IB fees are still a substantial amount considering that IB does almost nothing in providing content not already localized. Sure they print out a few formula booklets and provide unnecessary markers that could very well also be randomly selected from participating IB teachers, but are those services really worth hundreds of USDollars?

  • Did you by any chance go to Regents Bangkok :D?

  • You sir, are an idiot.

  • this video is dumb and clearly shows that you do not deserve IB diploma at all. You are too retarded and such a surrender to be able to get this amazing diploma reward. STOP MAKING VIDEO, and get a life.

  • Your names Bobby and you need to learn how to draw a fucking stick figure before complaining about IB. I'm a proud IB student, and just because you let your friend see your work and didn't get the IB deploma doesn't mean you have to attack IB for being a horrible program.

  • Sounds like you cheated, and got what you deserved. Even if you did not cheat, how is IB suppost to know this? It was your own fault, and you are just lashing out at IB for your mistakes.

  • IB has made this rule so that people don't cheat and plagiarize.therefore it didnt have any pre intention that they will earn from it.First of all you are the one who does the mistake and then put blame on others.shame on you dude.And you should also understand that ib has made a rule like this from the beginning of the session.if you knew it,then u should also have left your ib then only.

  • A few things:

    1. If you went through school never hearing of the word "collusion" then you probably don't deserve the diploma anyways.

    2. You don't have to pay for the exams if you don't want to. Heck, you don't even have to do IB at all.

    3. You "accidentally" sent your IA to someone else? Yes it is so easy to accidentally send an IA to random people (sarcasm).

    4. You are one of the dumbest, most self-centered, ignorantly blissful people I have ever heard of.

  • -.- If you didn't get your Diploma because you shared your IA (which is forbidden, you signed the honor code saying you wouldn't share any of your assignments), it's your own damn fault. You fucked up, not IB.

  • If you care so much about Thailand's poor why don't you go and help them instead of blaming the IB for it? The IB can only help so many people with their education. It's not their job to build schools in poor areas, there are different NGOs for that.

  • Also, you put the IA submission policy up and then started talking about exams. They're different things!

    Why were you redoing IB anyway once you were already in university? I don't understand.

  • Dude, you didnt know the word "collusion" because you're a non-native speaker of English. I'm an avid language learner myself, and I would never be arrogant enough to blame somone else for my lack of knowledge of isolated items of vocabulary.

    Regarding "crushed my future", are you joking? Quit complaining, you're going to Monash. That's a pretty good school, AFAIK.

  • Haha You are full of shit..... The IB is amazing, u were stupid enough to let someone get you work. This video was complete crap too. All you had to do was keep your IA to yourself. Something that more than 70,000 other students do. So please dont blame the IB for your stupidity

  • Clouse?

  • Also, you shouldn't abuse the appeal to pathos. People don't tend to like that. It makes them feel manipulated.

  • You weren't supposed to retake the exam, you were supposed to retake the course, so that your teacher can check that you don't cheat again! Thats why you had to take the exam at your school. If you are there you don't have to fly anywhere.

  • Yea you just bitter. I have some criticisms on the IB as well, but this was your own fault. Even though you probably didn't cheat, you shouldn't have even put yourself in the situation for the IB to believe you cheated.

  • Oh you're just bitter that you had to retake an exam because you were stupid enough to let your friend see your IA. (By the way the IAs are internally assessed and then sent out to check the teacher's mark, its not externally assessed unlessed it's an External Assessment, funny how that works). This should be a lesson to all people in IB now, don't let people see your work, they'll take it and use as their own.

  • Did you read that website which you sited on the budget of the IB?! The total budget was stated as 65.1m $, which is absoloutely miniscule. I mean for an operation the size of the IB. The education programme of Finland, which is relatively small on a worldwide scale tops is around 5 billion euros (that's the budget of the teaching and culture ministry). And compared to the number of students enrolled in the IB Finland's education system only has a fraction.

  • i just had another look at ur video....IT'S SUCH BULLSHIT it's unbeleivable.....u crushed your own "life" u plagiarized or better yet, helped plagiarize an IA. Didn't your teachers tell you to watch out for plagiarism????? and seriously I've never heard this much bullshit EVER! Good Luck class of 2011 (me) xD

  • the IB should sue you for this....fucking idiot -.- i am doing the IB exams now and tbh i liked the program and no one gave their "friend'' their IA so they could copy it...the only one to blame here is yourself....

  • baboso

    cojudo

    taradoooooo

    stop whining and do something for your life

  • baboso

    stop whining and do something for your life

  • Oh and sorry the western world believes in capitalism rather than communism. Move to North Korea I'm sure everything is much better for you there. -_-

    I don't really understand the mental breakdown you experienced, yes, I would be annoyed at myself if I failed but I have backup plans. You are retarded mate. As if it is the end of your remaining life. -_-

  • He is just retarded and annoying... Why would he be so stupid and give his IA to a "friend". It's interesting how you blame the IB for a return ticket from Melbourne to Bangkok and for paying your shrink.

    Also a lot of money does actually go to paying UPS express shipments as they are 50 euros per "envelope" of exams and money also goes to IB examiners.

    In my school nobody ever failed the IB diploma for plagiarism. So try not to do it and you might actually get somewhere in life.

  • Dude, you cheated...get over it

  • I'm not done yet.

    Third, don't tell the world something you DO OFF OF YOUR OWN ESTIMATIONS! I know some of your stuff is true, but you picked 200,000 and 0.01% out of a hat.

    Fourth, everything you did was your own terrible decisions, don't blame IB for your mistakes. What you should of learned is not that IB is bad by your bias, but instead that if you do that in the real world, you're going fail HARD, and this time, you are not going to get a second chance. Thanks for making me like IB more.

  • lol I made a youtube account just discriminate your incredibly stupid choices and agree with the actually smart people. K so firstly, you suck at math, like Jnieves02's comment.

    Secondly, we get you weren't trying to hit plagiarism but seriously, complaining about that is beyond retarded, it's sad. And furthermore, IB has to ship it's exams and papers all over the world, it's obviously fair to cost something, they're not cheating you, but you're obviously trying to cheat them.

  • 4000 students do IB each year, not 200,000 u idiot

  • 4000 students do IB each year, not 200,000 u idiot

  • nothing but a loser...

  • but you cheated bro

  • You wouldn't have had to spend all that money if you did your IA individually and followed the rules, so you could have saved yourself the cost of everything you mentioned in the video. And IB probably makes re-examinations so expensive to prevent people like you from needing them in the first place. Most of your points were really invalid, and you used way too much propaganda. It's kind of ridiculous. Be an IB learner, man.

  • BTW you give capitalism a bad connotation

  • You make it sound like IB does this to a many students in order to gain profit. What you are taking into consideration is the fact that you messed up the day you handed over your IA to your classmate. Teachers stress plagiarism enough for you to know that what you did was not the smartest thing. And all of the money that you added up with your calculator did not go to IB. It went to the hospital, your school, and the airline companies. Therefore, IB is not this capitalist.

  • your delusional.

  • They obviously taught the propaganda unit in your tok...

  • Firstly dude, don't cheat - you have now found out that, and pardon the pun, it doesn't pay.

    Secondly, the school that you attend makes all the money, not the IB (ever heard of school fees?)

    Thirdly, seems like you will need some more therapy.... maybe to cope with your guilt.

    Fourthly, all students in the entire western world, in private or public schools pay examination fees and for resiting the exam.

    Lastly, your video makes me like the IB even more. THANKS!

  • your dumb and gay ! you do not deserve to be in IB

  • Perhaps instead of spending $400 in unneeded therapy, you could have given food to some of those poor children. That way, someone would have won, because the therapy clearly did not help you enough.

  • You sent your IA to someone else? and how is that IB's fault? It sucks that your work was for nothing, but it was clearly your fault. That person couldn't cheat if you hadn't sent it to him (or her). It was an honest mistake, but blaming IB is total bullshit. And of course you pay for your tests! You pay for AP tests too, and you can't honestly argue against the benefits of AP/IB. You wouldn't have done IB if you didn't see these benefits. I'm in IB, and as dancer5611 said,"suck it up".

  • @rlevins94 Let look what UN is doing to us as a start: watch?v=TzEEgtOFFlM watch?v=r8YCLzlpDlw&feature=re­lated Earth Carter is used to built IB program as you know.... watch?v=YtevF4B4RtQ watch?v=6WQtRI7A064 After whoever survived Depopulation/FEMA/NDAA then you are given this... watch?v=DDyDtYy2I0M This is the education you are getting from... Wake up Now?
  • this is the biggest load of bull ever.

    you messed up.

    suck it up.

  • ur a failed product of the IB..

  • Also, after watching your video footage of those people and children, I can assume that you started supporting charities and helping them, I mean, you sounded so concerned with the poor children and men who were the indirect victims of IB, you must have felt obligated to help them.

    And my last remark, I think you forgot to mention another devilish invention of IB to ruin the world and deprive people of help: CAS, especially the 'service' part of that.

  • can i just mention that there is a difference between being a 'non-profit organization' and earnign money? I mean, the IB has to earn money, obviously, to train teachers, adjust and renew the curriculum, to send exams aroundthe world and have people grade them, and to employ a full-time board to run IB. It means that they make money to pay all these things and don't have the goal to make profits.

  • im not IB i find the majority of you stupid.

    1st of all if your in IB and you don't know the 4 fundamental forces or that hitler was not the founder of the NSDAP then im sorry should i care what you think.

    besides in my A.P human geo class two IB kids argued over the capital--- one said berlin the other said ireland.

    IB invinted by zionist to tell you communism is super bad, the isrealies do nothing wrong to the palestineins, and if you keep trying one day a rich person will do better

  • When "Examination fees" stated, they do not explicitly indicate they were re-takes. Routine exams still have fees.

  • Hell hath no wrath like an IB student scorned.

  • I am an IB student and I believe IB is a great program because it gives a hard work ethic and the ability to manage your time and organize yourself along with all the academic gains. I complete disagree with this video and all of the students in my TOK class disagrees with this video.

  • What a ridiculous video.

    You (a) colluded, and (b) are yourself elitist, capitalistic, and classist.

    I sympathize to some extent, and do acknowledge the highly unethical nature of the IBO in general, but you did commit that act of collusion.

  • Um, yeah this is totally your fault, so stop playing victim.

  • I wonder how you “unintentionally” sent an Internal Assessment to someone. If you accidentally added the file to a G4 project email or something, it’s your responsibility to ensure that the student doesn’t copy it. Failing that, you should be angry with the student who used your ideas. I know my teachers went over our IA’s before they were sent out, so maybe you just had a teacher who didn’t clue in to the similarities. You shouldn’t be blaming the IB. They didn’t hand out your paper.

  • 'One chance of explaining yourself and no chance of appealing..' seems about right.

    The IB is a good curriculum (and benefit from the participation of well motivated students in the program) BUT it looks very much like that they are moving toward treating people like a cog in a machine, rather then humans with lives that are effected greatly by their over the top (IB) criteria and regulations.

    Thank you for sharing this experience. It has been en-lighting.

  • This sounds more like a person who is upset because they didn't get their diploma and just wants to make ib look bad.

  • Comment removed

  • can i ask- did your school tell you before the results came out that you were going to fail because of the plagarism thing, or did you find out on rsults day?

  • Stop whining. move on

  • You made an immense mistake in sending your IA to another student. That was very much your own fault, and not a scheme by the IB to take your money. In fact, the claims you made about the IB's plot to gain that 51% of their funds assume that all of the students forced to pay the fee were in your situation and "inadvertently partook in collusion." That is untrue as I'm sure many were guilty. Perhaps these guilty parties even had the integrity to own up to their mistakes... unlike yourself.

  • IB rocks :) I'm sorry you plagiarized... that's what ruined your college plans, not IB.

  • The IB teaches internationally with a global view unlike the patriotic bullshit they feed most local schools (America)

    we're taught about global issues that affect the world today instead of being taught a narrow bias history of ur country alone. The IB also encourages different ways of thinking, things are taught in the IBs theory of knowledge that most other programmes dont even touch upon. If u really hate the IB then give reasons instead of slandering something u know very little about

  • @crazypartyman1 The IB is not the only program that does that. It is the only way to be successful in life. Universities have been accepting people from programs all over the world. What concerns me is why IB is becoming THE way ahead especially in a life that offers far more then just ONE road toward success. Money corrupts and an organization that requires money to function will inevitably make decisions based on profit. IB is no exception to this I'm sure. If not now someday it will.

  • oh for heaven's sake. grow up.

  • How on earth do you send something unintentionally?

    It is not entirely your fault if you had not heard of collision before, your school has something to do there, but hey, lesson learned.

    I'm not going to judge you, i sincerely wish you the best, i know people can make mistakes.

  • If the IB is so so so bad why did you take it in the first place!

    psychological hospital? o come on drama queen!

    Wake up... you cheated! cheated! cheated!

    If you read the IB information when you signed up then you would have not made such a stupid mistake.

    Those clips you showed of the children.. very nice try to pull on viewers heart strings, yes they could not afford the IB but they could not afford any education so you point is void.

    btw your voice pisses me off

  • Sorry about the misfortune you went though but you shouldn't have sent your IA to your friend. And IB doesn't care where you take your exams, only where you submit your IA. I took my chemistry exam today and there was a kid who used to go to school in Singapore who I'd never seen in my life also taking the exam. The reason why IA needs to be submitted and graded by your teacher in your school is to ensure authenticity.

  • Capitalist? This video is held up as suposed evidence on a conspiracy website that proclaims IB as marxist and socialist. If the conspiracy nutjobs are going to vent their spleen, could they have the grace to form an argument that atleast seems coherent?

    I have sympathy that you were suspected of collusion (assuming you are innocent which may/may not be true), but are you next going to moan about a police state if they stalk every aspect of your life to make sure you can't colude?

  • CAPITALIST????? WTF!?!? Does cheating not matter to Communists then? I'm assuming that's what you are...cretin.

  • Seriously, quit whining. You cheated, and in the end, you chose to retake the IB exam. It was not forced upon you.

  • Dude,  seriously.... learn to pronounce before you try to attack something....

  • Dude....

    Seriously?

    I gotta blame either you or your school, because my IB school not only tells us what collusion is, they give us an informational sheet EVERY YEAR on it. Since I don't you that well, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.

    Word of advice: if you want to convince somebody, don't try it in a YouTube slideshow.

    Or else THIS will happen: A landslide of people calling you a cheater and doubting your credibility.

    And stick figure animation sucks. Seriously!

  • wow you're so angry and bitter arent you?

  • I go to a public school... The IB is taking my money how... ?

  • @videlsd - the IBO is grabbing as much publicly supported (mandatory school property taxes) as it can get its grubby hands on. Every taxpayer in your district is paying to support this corrupt organization.

  • This is simply the rules of the IB! if you were fool enough to send your IA to anyone, even a so-called "Friend", who then plagiarized your work, then it is YOUR fault. Plagiarism is a huge problem in today's society, and the IBO cannot decide to change the rules for you! your experience should not make you think badly of the IBO, but of your "Friend" who stole your work!!

  • I admire the IB but as DP Coordinator/humanities teacher, its hard insisting students fulfil demands of the DP and the Learner Profile in a country run by a regime that blocks websites, promotes ignorance and threatens students who question Taiwan, Tibet, issues of freedom, and the Party's rule over the past 60 years. The IBO seems happy making money by opening up schools everywhere without considering moral issues or even viability of creating a dearth of qualified teachers and examiners.

  • calculations are all wrong. for a start, 97 000 people took the diploma in may 2009

  • I'm a victim of being plagiarized, and I think the IB should strike down hard on any plagiarism!

    The IB aims at graduating caring people, the fact that you are cold and didn't get your diploma might go hand in hand don't you think?

    Cheaters should not be given a chance to get their diploma. The IB are damn nice to allow you to BUY a new chance.

  • He can't be IB - he mispronounced baccalaureate.

  • lmao at 7:26; I love the rant after that. It's awesome. "Invisible elitist hand," ahahahaha

  • "it has also brought great shame and sadness to myself and my family"

    Seppuku....

    but seriously, yeah ok that sucks but you shouldn't have 'accidentally' sent your friend your work.

  • one word..

    GAY

  • suck it up.

    don't be a weak person.

  • it is a normal part of human solidarity to hand over works for comparison. I do that, my friends do that. We never plagiarise. When I finish my essay, and the others do, we exchange them to see what the others wrote.

    For someone who never wrote a certain IA before, it might be advantageous to look on another person's IA. Good last years IAs are often given to students by teachers.

    There is nothing illegimate in handing your work to someone.

    rat race. no solidarity anymore.

  • hahaha you "unintentionally" sent your IA to a friend who then copied it. That just shows your and your friends stupidity.

    I bet your teachers told you a million times that IA "should be your own work".

    So stop blaming the IB for not giving you your diploma when you didnt stick to the rules.

  • Thats what you get for cheating! And you're fucked about IB ruining your life - you ruined your life bud!

  • is that what they teach you in school...

    kind of sad.

  • @Tintin9121 failing the ib doesnt ruin ur life... pfff thts complete nonsense...

  • stop complaining; you cheated on an IA which is a major percentage of your grade...what do you think would happen?

  • Since you're such a smartass, you would have realised that the IB doesn't just need money to print a bunch of exam papers. It needs to pay the educated, expensive examiners as well as the educated and expensive teachers/professors who write the examination.

    Fail video.

  • suk it up mate... shit happens

  • Your math isn't even right .01% x 200,000 is 20 students

  • You don´t have your TI-84 plus, do you?

  • .01% = .0001 x 200,000 is 20

    And yes i did use my TI-84 plus for that, but I really didn't need to

  • Wow, what the fuck is this shit? You claim that because YOU cheated on your IA, IB has ruined your life at the age of 18? Shows what you know, dumbass.

  • You sound like a poor black man, go back to Compton you nigger

  • you are a cruel person.hope to death u r never in his shoes.

  • wow.......

  • i still love the ib. we are the bomb

  • 175/Exam because at least 3 markers need to be paid to mark your exams... that's a bargain.

  • you loser, don't make a pissy weak video about how IB is a capitalist/communist society just because you cheated on your IA. You got into Monash, WHY THE FUCK DID YOU RETAKE YOUR EXAMS YOU LOSER!!

  • same goes to you what i said to someone else here.I hope to death u r never in the same situatian.

  • you simply shouldn't give out your internal assessment to others..it's too risky and you should have thought of that..cuz even if u've helped someone plagiarise your own work without knowing it, it's still illegal. even if it was just an accident. and there is no need to try to pose the ib as a bad programme just because of what happened.

  • good luck there man and i hope that you get some level of comfort in the years to come.

  • You gave your internal assessment to someone else you numpty, and they copied it - plagiarism, you helped someone replicate your work, not allowed. The word cheating springs to mind moron.

  • @ianclark001 Plagiarism is not the point he is making.....

  • I mark IB papers. The Internal Assessment is a student-generated paper. If you and your friend really did your own work, the two papers would not look similar. You should not be throwing stones at a well-respected program just because you got caught in academic dishonesty.

    On a side note, I like the stick-figure documentary style. It seems you're intelligent and able to express yourself creatively. Pity you and your friend didn't do that on the IA in the first place.

  • ooh that bad :((

    but i thank god cuz i dont enter to IB u was confuse but now its noo

    i hope to have happy life dude :)

  • IB does lie a lot!!

    Every time a student is accepted to a university abroad (i.e Oxford), they claim that the university paid for the students expenses to go for the interview. When in reality the students family pays for the plane ticket, hotel etc.

    They lie so that you may stay in this program, and pay the program, so that the ass holes who it run can pay their markers.I feel bad for the guy who made this video, i know id probably go crazy if 4 years of my life were wasted studying for nothing

  • your just upset cause you helped someone cheat on their ia.  keep your work to yourself next time, and you wont get screwed.

  • (continued from previous comment) I have been an IB diploma student for 4 years and I could not be happier with it. I realize that I have made a choice to take the program and anyone who bitches about the program wronging them when it was their own decisions that caused that wrong is, to put it blunly, a cry-baby. The only thing that IB students have a right to complain about is how tired they are DURING the course of their IB careers. Everything else is just tiresome and childish.

  • Firstly, in Canada, it costs us $60.00 CAD to take the exams, with a price cap of $120.00, for two or more exams, so this guy was ripped off or something. Also, all IB regulations are logical when you consider this one fact: the IB program is intended for high school students. The IB diploma is completely seperate of high school diplomas and, as this guy admits, he brought all of this on himself through taking a voluntary exam / program.

  • I have no doubt that the company makes money off the program. However, this would not have been a problem if you and your friend had not cheated in the first place.

  • (continued #4) POSTING COMMENTS ON YOUTUBE IS SO DIFFICULT! IT'S RUINING MY TRAIN OF THOUGHT.

    All in all, don't give up Joey. You have initiated a movement, and this is very commendable. You are right. We don't need the IB to be successful. We don't need the elitists' recognition that we are 'smart', 'educated', 'good employees to generate more money for the rich'.

    Hopefully your video will impact all of us young ppl to resist against the top. Let the revolution begin!

  • (continued #3) and with this power we can do so many things! Maybe you may want to start your own school that is not so exclusive, but at the same time providing an education that is as good or even better than the IB!

    Or maybe next time recommend your friends to send their kids to Shrewsbury for O-levels then go to Mahidol :)

  • (continued #2) Currently not many people can keep the elitists' power in check, but remember: power comes in numbers! Right now it is us who are giving power to them to rule over us, but as Kant said, the search for knowledge releases our self-inflicted tutelage: we may now come to a stage in our lives where we have the choice to decide, how can I change the world?

    We can do this in many ways, keeping in check with the truth to obtain power, spreading this truth to increase the power of the ppl

  • (continued) and come to conclusions of what you have learned, your education at NIST was not wasted.

    What we can merely do now is to look forward. As you said, let the truth be spoken! (although I would like to disagree on the point that youtube is a free place for honest opinions...it's owned by Google!) With this knowledge now in our hands, we can spread the knowledge for others to gain more power. The latin quote I gave means: "Who watches the watchmen?"

  • Great video Joey! My response: Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

    Indeed, our world is ruled by a group of elitists, a small group of privileged people that have the power over the rest of us. Look up the bilderberg group's ambitions.

    Education should not be exclusive, but remember, knowledge is power. The elitists try to limit that power for the mass, therefore we have to pay a heavy price for it. But as a result, seeing that you can already critically analyze your own situation

  • Quite a powerful video Joey, im very impressed with it. well done.

  • a very influential video

  • thank you for this, joey
