so instead of doing my mounds of homework, i decided to look up some quotes that help express my anti-IB feelings at the moment.
IB helps you with stress management. It throws all this stress at you and says, 'Manage it!' Then you have your breakdown and you get over it.
ToK in a Nutshell:
The Question: How do we know?
The Answer:We don't.
The day I ditched school for homework.
When an IB Coordinator says "Jump!" an IB freshmen asks "How high?"
Two years later the IB Coordinator says "Jump!" and the IB Junior asks "Where's the nearest cliff?
"IB is like an abusive husband, you know you should leave but you can't because you have a life together even if that life occasionally beats you, calls you names, and makes you feel like killing yourself."
Chemistry Teacher: You guys will start the group 4 project next week. You will learn how to socialize with others and have fun. (baaaaaaaaaaahhhh)
I'm so hot my enzymes denaturate. (isabel, i'm pretty sure we totally said this)
What we don't realize is, this is all just a huge scientific study to find out how much stress kids can be put under before they haul off and kill themselves. The idea is that they give students amounts of work that are impossible to achieve, and periodically add more and more work during times when key projects are due. I don't know about you guys, but I'm tired of it. I quit.
I want to commit suicide, but I'm too busy doing the IB.
IB stands for internationally bitch-slapped.
Eighth grader shadowing an IB student: I think I'm going to take IB when I come here.
IB Student: Don't do it! Save yourself! Save yourself while you still can!!!
Top Ten Reasons to be an IB Diploma Candidate.
10. I want to conform to an international standard of educational excellence.
9. I want to be surrounded by other intelligent, dedicated students.
8. I want to work extremely hard.
7. I want to sacrifice almost all of my time to studying.
6. I want my class rank to be as low as it can possibly be.
5. I want to have an overwhelmingly high stress level.
4. I want to immerse myself in an environment of competition and mutual jealousy.
3. I want to burn away any vestiges of creativity or independent thought that I might have left after sophomore year.
2. I want to to discover that all of the extra work I did to get the IB Diploma made absolutely no difference in my college admissions.
1. I feel masochistic.
"smart enough to be in it, but dumb enough to stay."
You Know You're in IB when:
* The sun is too loud
* You can see individual air molecules vibrating.
* You wonder if brewing is an essential step in the consumption of coffee.
* You and Reality file for divorce.
* You begin to talk to yourself, then disagree about the subject, get into a nasty row about it, lose, and refuse to talk to yourself for the rest of the day.
* It's okay to fail, so long as you are not alone.
* You finish your extended essay shortly after midnight. Your smile of satisfaction fades when you remember to start on your World Lit. paper.
* Desperate to fill up your CAS hours, you claim watching a black and white movie as "creativity" and walking your dog as "activity", and your teacher approves it.
When asked about IB and whether or not they liked it, a student replied:
"I'd commit suicide, but I'm too busy."
and my personal favorite
'I wish IB would get on its international knees and lick the ballsack I do not have.'
yeah, ok, well, now that one part of me procrastinating is out of the way, i'm going to go have ice cream.
