It sounds to me like RMIB will encourage efficiency, writing, analysis, communication, and factual understanding (all good things) -- but not creativity, because there is no time or space for it. [/quote]

Not true - there are many options of IB arts classes students can choose from to fulfill their sixth subject area. And with courses like Theory of Knowledge, and with the interdisciplinary approach, students DO have time and space for creativity. [/quote]

Additional classes and classwork are not what provides time and space for creativity.[/quote]

You do not know the program but...

You're right, I do not know the program. But since my point is that you need some [b]down time for creativity[/b], I don't think that I need to know the program to know that courses like Theory of Knowledge (or any other courses) don't provide that down time, basically by definition.

Now, maybe you don't think that down time is necessary for creativity, and that people can be totally creative while doing lots and lots and lots of work and not getting enough sleep. In which case, ok. That's not been my experience, but different people are different.[/quote]

NP - I don't get you. You need down time to be creative? I haven't heard that before. [/quote]
