On a blog post by missoula schools watchdog reporting on the district's consideration of transforming Lewis and Clark School into an International Baccalaureate school (the entire school!) msw entered a link to the article International Baccalaureate (IB) Unraveled by Debra Niva. Niva's article is considered one of the most comprehensive articles on the downside of the IB program. In some of her final comments on the IB program Niva reveals that as a young student she was enrolled in a international school program, however, it was not an IB program. In other words, Niva has specific concerns regarding the IB program rather than international education in general.
missoula schools watchdog would like to feature the document, International Baccalaureate (IB) Unraveled, in a separate blog as it is so important to understanding the problems with the IB program. Missoula County Public Schools is embracing this program at a fast pace and at an unknown cost to the taxpayers. At the same time MCPS is adding this program it is proposing to eliminate programs that have been in the public school system since the beginning of the district in the early 1900's!
Please click on the link to this important document as it is relevant to what is being implemented at this time at Hellgate High School and perhaps other high schools in addition to the proposal for Lewis and Clark School.
