[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The IB curriculum is inferior for math and sciences, and the IB diploma program is inflexible and filled with pretentious nonsense like Theory of Knowledge, and busy work like Creativity, Activity, Service. People always bring up the writing in IB, to me it’s high volume, but frankly the quality is lacking.

This being said, the main benefit of the magnet is the student cohort, and one can take courses outside of the IB ones.

The culture though is one of the most irritating things about the IB programs. It’s all BS about international perspective, global citizenship, and name dropping about college acceptances. The poster that said you should avoid IB if you have a low tolerance for BS was spot on.[/quote]
Maybe true, but RMIB program is more well rounded than Blair, and from what I have heard, IB in general prepares a student better for college.[/quote]
So you know nothing about program, but you hear...
Got it[/quote]

That’s one of the features of the IB programs, it’s always a relative saying something, some college professor swears by the IB program, the cousin “felt” prepared etc, nothing that can be judged or evaluated objectively.
