IB ("International Boondoggle")
Yesterday, I learned that my school is letting go of the IB program.
As Buster Bluth would say : "Oh thank god." (for 2% of you out there)
I started with a 40% dislike of the IB program in physics, which moved up to 60% when they decided that the coefficient of static friction could never be more than 1.0 (therefore nothing could be at rest on an angle greater than 45 degrees).
Some things about IB I have liked, but overall I found the most distasteful aspect of the program was the cost. I think that the community just found out about that, and in this economy, that's all it takes.
I am looking forward to my return to teaching the AP. Woo-hoooo!
