Get the beccalicious mug.A (usually) 2 year diploma programme of education infinately better and better established than A Levels.
Consists of 6 chosen topics from groups, along with the compulsory 150+ hours of CAS (Creativity, Action, Service), 4000 word Extended Essay and a Theory of Knowledge essay and presentation.
Each topic is marked from 1 - 7, with an extra 3 points being added for performance in CAS, TOK and EE, with a total of 45 points achievable.
Considered Hellish and extremely difficult for some, others (myself included) really appreciate it. It Challenges you, and can either encourage you to become really organised or really lazy. May lead to extensive Procrastination (world of warcraft in extreme cases) and lack of a social life. Or alcohol abuse, depending on how you cope with stress.
Good points are that it is an internationally recognised qualification, and is equivalent to up to 7 'A' Grades at A level, and some higher level subjects (Sciences and Maths for example) are considered so advanced, that certain University's view them as almost degree level.
Another good point is that it can give you the opportunity to meet people from all over the world (especially at international schools) and can definately broaden your horizons. And it teaches you bullshit oh so effectively.
Lying becomes a way of life, sleeping becomes a luxury, Relentless and Pro Plus become your Gods, and eating just isn't necessary.

Get the International Baccalaureate mug.Related Words
The International Baccalaureate aims to develop incurious, unappreciative and uncaring young people who help to create a better and more robotic world through intercultural bullshitting and superiority.
To this end the organization works with schools, governments and international organizations to develop challenging programmes of international education and rigorous assessment.
These programmes provoke students across the world to become suicidal, procrastinating and scarred learners who understand that other people, with their differences, are always wrong unless they are the teacher.

The International Baccalaureate® (IB) is more than its three educational programmes. At our heart we are motivated by a mission to create a better world through brute force.

Get the international baccalaureate mug.This is a completely heterosexual phenomenon that occurs in male only showers during military deployments, or even at the local YMCA. A man will finish his shower and instead of drying off in the shower, or drying off at all, he will proceed to shave, brush his teeth, comb his hair, clip his fingernails, floss etc before placing on even a single stitch of clothing. The most blatant example is when they will straddle a bench and begin a converstation with a perfect stranger. Usually over manly things such as football scores or weight lifting. The predominant explanation for this behavior is that of closet homosexuals seeking like minded citizens or who enjoy simple exhibitionism. This is akin to the "wide stance" in the urinal or stall.
Guy #1: Hey that was a great shower...I noticed you do the Bucca Drip Dry.
Guy #2: Yeah, I'm not shy, if you know what I mean.
Guy #1: I think I know exactly what you mean. Hey will you be at the showers the same time tomorrow?
Guy #2: You know it.
Guy #1: Hey, maybe we can do some calf raises sometime?
Guy #2: Great, thought you'd never ask!
Guy #2: Yeah, I'm not shy, if you know what I mean.

Get the Bucca Drip Dry mug.A secondary school program seeking to create well-rounded and socially concious graduates. The Middle Years Program (MYP) precedes the Diploma Program (DP), with MYP encompassing the first two years of high school and DP consisting of the last two. IB boasts rigorous classes, community service requirements (CAS), a required 4000 word essay, a Theory of Knowledge (TOK) class, and exit exams which determine whether or not a student earns their IB diploma. Most students maintain a love/hate relationship with the program, both realizing that they are getting a great education and hating the immense workload and high stress environment. The students are somewhat isolated within the school, leading to the development of a unique culture. Stress or work levels are often used as bragging materials, with the most overworked or stressed individual recieving admiration from their peers. There is no mold that all IB students fit, but overachievers are the most common. However, all share the belief that Advanced Placement (AP) classes are for slackers or those who are less intelligent.
Guy 1: Are you going to the club tonight?
Guy 2: I'm in International Baccalaureate man! I don't have that kind of time.

Get the squinty buccaneer mug.It is an overpriced ticket to hell... that you can use to brag on AP and GCSE students to show your superiority. It is also a good programme that will suck the life left inside you and replace it with TOK theories and weird imaginary polynomial roots.
