[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]IB always seemed like an incomprehensible and non useful program foisted on the lower income schools. Why do we need an "international" degree when our kids are going to American colleges.[/quote] Because your kids, in today's globalized world, when they get out of college are not competing only against the kid down the block, but the kid in Bangalore or in Seoul or Shanghai or Moscow. Also, why aren't we spending more on votech and trade programs. Such programs would prepare students not interested in college with real skills for real jobs that pay a real wage, yet there is somehow some stigma attached to them. Isn't any labor by which someone earns an honest living something to be respected? [/quote]
