[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wonder if they are teaching the fact that so many other countries are intolerant in the IB program? Kind of doubt it.[/quote] I think the point of the IB program (as administered in the US) is to teach empathy for others, not to bash the US. I don't think teaching empathy for others and teaching patriotism are mutually exclusive. I think it can be the best of both world. [/quote] That's a silly and likely elusive goal for what's typically held out as a rigorous college prep program. [b]IB equips a small subset of students to banter with one another using IBO-favored terms such as "hegemony." [/b] The article cited in the OP suggests that type of approach is more likely to teach elitism than empathy. [/quote] Clueless. Come back when you actually know somethign about the IB program.[/quote]
