Some people have relationship problems. If you're in IB, IB is your problem.

International Baccalaureate (a.k.a.Idiot's Baccalaureate, IB, @*#&@#^^$, International Bullshit, It's Bollocks, or more simply, Hell) is a two-year programme of internationally recognised education edumacation for students aged 16 to 19. As an internationally recognised program, this is the definitive ticket to university around the world (Apart from countries that do not give a crap offer the program in states schools, e.g. China or Russia. Furthermore, it requires you to dedicate your life and soul to the evil gods of the IB, also known as the IBO, who live in Geneva/Cardiff/Paris/London/God knows where, and who delight in devising revisions to the syllabus that will make it impossible to pass. All IB classes come with a warning sticker attached. It generally reads: WARNING. IB class. Prepare to lick your teachers boots for a seven, share a bed with your laptop and calculator, worship your textbook and invest large amounts of money in bribes. There is a possibility that you will learn something, but this will be covered with so much bullshit that you will never remember any of it. Ever.).

[edit] Highlights of the International Baccalaureate Programme

The best part of this esteemed educational institution organization is that regurgitation is not only discouraged, but downright rude in an IB classroom! Instead, we require you to paraphrase.

To help break down the International Baccalaureate, and give you an adequate review of its educational value, we have constructed a table for those with a scrutinizing eye.

Esteemed philanthropist Bill Clinton has this to say about his creation, "by requiring students to do community service hours we effectively ensure our excellent and stable economy is fueled by slavery. Plus, lazy students can once again pay themselves out of a shitty situation, and open themselves up to the delicious world of blackmail and extortion. It's a win-win for both me and Monica Lewinsky" President Barack Obama cites CAS as a "blueprint" to becoming a successful community organizer. 91.2% 23% 45% a TWO out of SEVEN.

[edit] IB Conspiracy Theories

In the past, it has been theorized that IB was first created by Gestapo as a brainwash technique to train super soldiers to attack the Allied Forces through Cuba.

Modern conspiracy theorists, however, are convinced that the concept of IB was created as a cage for individuals who may grow up to be elements of social instability.

IB Coordinator(right) attempting to lure new recruits(left) into the system

The system lures the said individuals with a little beam of light, and then traps them into the eternal darkness of TOK's paradoxical spirals. Later evidence suggested that IB was created to provide fleshly ammunition to Wikipedia in its war with Uncyclopedia.

However, the attempt proved to be unfruitful. Long oppressed by IBO's inhumane training, students merely turned to Uncyclopedia for an entertaining method of procrastination. Most of the said students became Unclyclopedians and fought against the latter's copy cat: Wikipedia.

It is also believed that IB was actually a part of the Genevan Peace Treaty. Winston Churchill felt that he needed to punish the germans for trying to conquer the world and he made his best scientists develop this course which was made in such a way that after prolonged exposure one would commit suicide. Winston Churchill felt that in this way he could repay the germans for the Death Camps. Eventually as we can see through history, Hitler did take IB and had to commit suicide.

[edit] IB's Core Requirements (C.A.S.)

Aside from the zombie-state inducing hours of courseworks, it has also been decided that each student must show "growth" and "continuing improvement" via slave labour service, until they max out their karma meters. IB students, kiss your neat amount of hours good by, and take this opportunity to become reacquainted with your old friend, th

An example of this would be to help people who are nearly dead perform everyday routines, e.g. helping them to open jam jar because they are twisting the cap clockwise. This is the 'S' part of the C.A.S. abbreviation. Students generally apply TOK in CAS by arguing with themselves that by giving money to the poor they are actually helping them and thus deserve CAS hours.

As an all encompassing education program, IB students are expected to be not morbidly obese, i.e. Americans physically healthy members of society. They are expected to achieve this through 'actions', whatever that means. Though the meaning is vague, past student indicated that fingers and thumbs exercises through action-genre video-games are NOT included in this. This is the 'A' part of the C.A.S. abbreviation.

The last requirement of a successful member of society defined by the IB program is the total inability to do school work by yourself and finding ways to copy off others. However, if thou shouldst get caught, thou shalt be condemned to writing creative/corny quillets in the Shakespearean tongue. This is the 'C' of C.A.S.

These three core requirements to be instilled into the heart of all the IB students if once they completed the program, and are also required to pray to the god of C.A.S. daily.

[edit] TOK

This crock of shit class is where a bloodthirsty demon teacher sucks the life out of its students by forcing their brains to asplode. It should be noted that most, if not all, ToK teachers actually play guitar, so it has been theorized that all of them are in fact the same person attempting to promote their fascist doctrine everywhere. It also requires you to write a 1600-word essay on a prescribed title given by the IBO, none of which actually make any sense. After writing complete and utter bullshit for about 2 hours, you finally finish and go masturbate celebrate by doing some complex math equations. BUT if you don't get at least a D-, you automatically fail. This is probably the most pointless class in the IB curriculum, forcing you to "think about the way you think you think..." Honestly now, why does it matter? I know shit, period, end of story, get over it. I don't need to "justify my knowledge claims." Unless you want me to justify that I don't know shit. Well, fuck you, I DON'T KNOW SHIT. And, if you were to say this in class, the teacher would throw some bullshit response at you, saying something like "But how do you KNOW that you don't know shit? What ways of knowing can you apply to your statement?" This crock of shit class is such a complete waste of time, watching the high school musical series 100 consecutive times would probably be more productive.

The most powerful noted demon is Christine Riddle. It haunts students in their dreams scaring the reality of of their perception. It sounds like the teacher from jimmy neutron and i might kill myself. Please Help

an actual IB wizard

[edit] The Extended Essay

The extended essay is a 4000 word demonic piece of writing, requiring the students to bullshit about their chosen topic. If you don't do it, you automatically fail the IB diploma. If you don't get at least an Elementary grade, you automatically fail the diploma. And seeing as most examiners don't give a shit about your essay since they are paid by the number of essays read, all your work will actually go to waste. If you exceed the word count, the examiner will penalize you over 9000 points out of 36. If you are found to be copy-pasting from the Internet, or using sources without citing them, a special person appointed by the IBO will rape you while talking about academic misconduct.

[edit] IB's Six Core Curriculum

As a slave member of the IB lifestyle, there are six core topics from which you must study:

Group 1: First Language

Group 2: Second Language

Group 3: Individuals and Society

Group 4: Experimental Sciences

Group 5: Mathematics and Computer Sciences

Group 6: Optional Electives

The IB Hexagon was originally designed as a Pentagram, but even Satan's minions realized that the stupid people they were trying to sell this bullshit to might see through such blatant symbolism.

All of these are condemned to Hell by God and all the victims of the cruel, cruel Hobbits.

[edit] The EncIBclopaedia (The Hitchhiker's Guide to the IB)

The essential guide to the IB system and the students selling their souls to it

IB = International Baccalaureate (being able to spell that shows that you’re already suffering the consequences for too long), a worldwide, international education of the highest standards with emphasis on written work, tests, exams and assignments. Students are expected to take responsibility for their work (ever wondered why IB’s are the ones roaming around the halls when we should have class? So much for responsibility…).

CAS: Of course IB students should not spend all their time trying to catch up on their school work, or imagine if they had like (in a very low, whispering voice:) social life. No we have to earn points and catch up with all the stimulation neither our bodies nor our minds get from science books or history essays. At least 150 hours divided between Creativity (like graphing trigonometric graphs on our calculators), Activity/Action (such as spinning on the chairs in the Study Centre or carrying your back pack) and Service (e.g. knitting socks for the IB-coordinators. I never quite found out whether sexual services count but just remember it’s CAS not CASH, you are not allowed to receive money) should be achieved. Additionally for each activity formula sheets have to be completed stating why you did this, how it developed you as a person, how you can use what you’ve learned in future situations etc. etc. etc. and the activity leader has to sign and comment on your abilities.

ToK: = theory of knowledge. On top of the above, IB students have to be able to reflect on our chaotic universe and ponder over statements like “there is no such thing as nothing” or “all ethical statements are relative”. This is probably the quietest class where most students sit, watch the teacher and think “honey, drugs are not good for you!”

Grades: Yes dears, the scale goes from one to seven. There is nothing more frustrating than telling the world, with a big mad smile on your face that “I got a SEVEN!!!” and surrounding people looking as though somebody just dropped the day’s menu from the canteen on them. (A seven on the Danish scale is like a three in IB). All our big assignments and exams are graded by an examinator abroad, the outcome is very unpredictable. A popular theory on how it works runs along the lines of a very big casino where all the examinators get drunk and roll dices to grade the papers while betting money on the outcome.

Weird: Are IB students weird? Well we don’t all mud wrestle and most of actually speak Danish, but the fact that our work load is so big and we often are stressed and hyper might contribute to this impression. One of my friends said to me the other day “I’ve just been used to being considered a freak, but here I’ve just met so many others!” I think IBs bond on the basis that 1. They are all a bit outside the system and don’t belong anywhere and 2. Most people have moved around a lot and are very open and easy to talk to. Everybody’s just so different that you don’t really have to be afraid to be yourself. On the other hand I wish there was more communications between the two departments of the school, since we could probably learn a lot from each other.

Sleep: The many written assignments and own responsibility to find time to do these often leave IBs with a heavy lack of sleep. Can you actually take a nap while walking to your next class? Try to convince your chemistry teacher to help you synthesize a brew stronger than coffee. If you don’t succeed eating the beans will be more effective and less time consuming than taking time to make the coffee.

Social Life: Social life in IB is easy to avoid. Are you not careful, you will end up associating relationships with physics class (like MTV, mass, temperature and volume, right?) and fun with an acronym for a university entrance test. Socialising suddenly becomes very much connected to studying. But does that really matter if you know the derivative of your favourite animal and the vector defining your nose?

EE: Eating Ethiopians? Easter Economics? NO FOOL! THEY DON'T EXIST! It must be the Extended Essay. In the one summer holiday we have in the 2-year course IB is, we have to write an investigative essay in a self-chosen subject, defining the assignment ourselves. It can be compared to 3.G’s opgaven in Denmark. If it’s any comfort, your extended essay can be almost like a child. Grow pa- or maternal instincts. Give birth to it, nurture it, watch it grow and cry when you hand it in in October.

Self Pity: All formal recognition denied.

[edit] Extra Credit in the IB

The IB has recently assigned new extra-credit assignments. The following is a list of optional work, each worth an extra 1 (one) IB credit.

- Divide by zero.

- Revive the dodo bird (or dinosaurs).

- Lick your elbow.

- Find a university that actually respects the IB.

- Conquer the world, twice

- Do what Hitler could not do... live past age 57. Thought it was something else huh! Something relating to some certain ethnicities? You racist bastard!

- Build a time machine.

- Use said time machine to go back in time and prove the creation of life.

- Help the Toronto Maple Leafs win the cup.

- Give all your favorite teachers oral sex.

- (For guys) touch a girls breasts

- (For girls) talk about sex other than in Biology

- Befriend a successful caucasian IB graduate... good luck with that.

- Get a south-american-style tan. Studying, working or reading while doing so is forbidden.

- Massive Group Hug Mandatory
