IB tends to drive out all of the best teachers who can see through the IB-BS. Contrary to what is presented in this article, IB is not a curriculum. IB is nothing more than globalist themes which are integrated into and layered on top of your state’s grade level curriculum. I’m sure you’ll find employment in a non-IB district with your experience and awareness, Chris. Good luck!

Smoke and mirrors meant to draw more money to the school district. Low pay and large class sizes, along with several other issues at the administrative level, caused me to leave a profession I spent ten years and a Masters degree pursuing.

There is absolutely zero evidence of any school in the United States ever being denied IB authorization …. as long as the checks are good. The application process, which involves schoolwide teacher training, runs on average $300,000 per year, not including any teacher salaries except for the IB Coordinator. The IB PYP is nothing more than a set of globalist themes. There was nothing preventing the school from teaching Mandarin BEFORE it applied for the IB label. IB is elitist smoke and mirrors. Spend the money on more teachers and smaller class sizes if you want real learning to happen.
