[quote=Anonymous]I'd tend to think an associate professor at Hopkins/SAIS is better informed about global realities than some of the IB educators. One thing I've started to realize is that the IB coordinators at local schools are all reading from the same playbook. It's very much a marketing pitch full of fuzzy phrases like "global citizens" and "critical thinking." The irony is that when someone does bring a realistic perspective to matters of national policy and geopolitics, he or she is branded as "narrow-minded." To speak to your latter point, we have traveled extensively in our family, although we've never had a full-time international assignment. Are you saying a program like IB can only be fairly evaluated by parents who have lived and worked abroad? That would seem to be a relatively small number of local families. [/quote]
