Have you read the IB Learner Profile?[/quote]

Of course I have, and you can too. Perhaps you can be less crazy-sounding if you become informed.

(Taken from: http://www.ibo.org/pyp/curriculum/profile/)

The programme encourages students to become:

inquirers—their natural curiosity has been nurtured and they actively enjoy learning
thinkers—they exercise initiative in applying thinking skills critically and creatively to solving complex problems
communicators—they receive and express ideas and information confidently in more than one language
risk-takers—they approach unfamiliar situations without anxiety and have the confidence to explore new ideas
knowledgeable—they have explored themes that have global significance and have acquired a critical mass of knowledge
principled—they have a sound grasp of the principles of moral reasoning and have acquired integrity, honesty and a sense of justice
caring—they show sensitivity towards the needs and feelings of others, and have a sense of personal commitment to helping others
open-minded—they respect the values of other individuals and cultures and seek to consider a range of points of view
well-balanced—they understand the importance of physical and mental balance and personal well-being
reflective—they give thoughtful consideration to their own learning by constructively analysing their personal strengths and weaknesses.[/quote]

Clearly, you have drunk the koolaid.  [/quote]

The learner profile very closely matches all of the values I work to instill in my children. I'm proud and pleased they are able to attend a school that does the same. Are you trying to raise an unprincipled, close-minded, unbalanced misanthrope? If so, the IB is not for you.[/quote]
