[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is out of date info. They don't use well-balanced anymore, just balanced.

Another example of how stupid it is.[/quote]
My kids, who attend an IB school, would not have used the word "stupid". That word is not caring, nor is it principled, and certainly not well-balanced (or balanced, as you prefer). Now if you'd like to try again and provide a properly reflective and open-minded response, that would be appreciated.

I'll provide some positive examples of my IB-brainwashed kids. One kid will comfort his brother when he skins his knee -- and the first kid will say, "mommy, look I'm being CARING". Or he'll try to climb all the way across the monkey bars and even though he fails, he'll say, "look, I'm a RISK-TAKER". Or he proudly comes home with coursework where everything is correct (*) and the teacher has written the word "KNOWLEDGABLE", and my kid is proud to have received that notation. So they are organizing the IB learner profile into positive roles to which they aspire. Is it kool-aid? Perhaps. Is it comparable to other learning techniques? Definitely. Is it better than other education systems? I doubt it. Is it stupid? Emphatically no.

(*) My kids are smarter than all other kids. It was off-topic to mention that fact earlier; thus this footnote.
