International Baccalaureate

A global organization that revolves around the philosophy of the Areas of Interaction and the IB Learners Profile. Typically classes are at a higher level of thinking and involve deeper thought. Other aspects include a decrease in social life, increased health problems (sleep deprivation, stress, headaches, etc.) and the susceptibility to ridicule by Certificate Candidates who have more interesting classes to choose from. Students usually appear to be brainy, witty and sometimes "smart-asses". Best of all, they are very good procrastinators and usually make parodies about the Learner Profile and likewise. Though there are plenty drawbacks, and I repeat, plenty, IB is very appealing to colleges and universities and can better prepare students for the work involved at that stage in their lives.
