International Baccalaureate (IB): Capitalist, Elitist and Hypocritical

A video every IB student/ parent/ teacher/ administrator must see. This documentary examines the other side of the IB, who claims to be a non-profit educational program producing caring citizens regardless of borders or class, when it is in fact a capitalist diploma making machine, reaping astronomical sums of money from its elite students to feed their profit-bloated CEOs, like any other companies.

Please spread this message. The truth about International Baccalaureate Co. Ltd. must be spoken.

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".

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.

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?

[GlassTearsx]

lol dumbass.

[CaptainMisterDoctorE]

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

[CaptainMisterDoctorE]

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

[TheZoon3000]

sounds like someone's a little bitter...

[Lim3sy]

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?
