A malevolent school curriculum that gives you no choice in what you want learn at school (The ib state that there is more choice than A-levels, no matter how many times they say this it will never be true). You are asked (forced) to take 6 subjects (3 at higher & 3 at lower), and on top of that you MUST ''participate'' in a subject (whether you like it or not) called theory of knowledge, this is complete and utter bull**** as you will have to write a essay of ~1400 words, as if thats not enough you will have to do a 40 minute presentation on a ''controversial'' issue, as can be seen theory of knowledge is a waste of time, and on top of all this you have to do coursework for every other lesson.
They add the word ''Diploma'' to make it sound more prestigious, where in actual fact it is roughly the same as 3-4 A-levels, this can be seen as a form of psycological bribary (fooling someone in to something that isnt as good as it sounds).
Other bull**** in the ib include the 4000 word essay, CAS (this isnt as bad though) and a truck load of oral commentaries.
Any one who has been involved in/with the ib for more than a week will usually result to finding loop holes out of the tasks assigned and find something more useful to do (something not related to the ib), in a frequent scenario students result to plagiarism and paying large deals of money for someone else to do the work for you.
If you have a choice DONT'T DO THE ib

My parents gave me the option A-levels or ib, I chose A-levels immediately (but parents disagree, and choose the ib ''diploma''
I'm in the ib, therefore only half my work is genuine
The ib is bull****
ib is an excuse for smart people to say that they are doing something harder and more challenging than A levels (the difference is very slim, its just there is heavier work load in the ib)

The optional higher level course of academics taken by high school students to improve their knowledge of foreign studies, and to prepare them for college. Also notably more difficult that Advanced Placement classes, IB nerds generally make other people jealous with their smarts, despite the fact that they are all over-worked, and constantly lacking sleep.

The end of you're social life. What you will die from before Senior year due to the enormous amount of work, IA's, IB exams, and the dreaded EE aka Extended Essay. And i'm only in Pre-IB.

A program that aims directly at destroying the hearts and souls of anyone that gets accepted. Although commonly thought to be a gifted program, all it does it teaches you how to have very high levels of stress. Some benefits of this program are that is teaches you that you can do a major project in one night if you put your mind to it
IB Student: "I just did my whole IA in one night."
vs.
Normal Student: "OMG, I had to write a THREE paragraph essay last night, school is so hard."

Navy seal training equivalent of high school, except there is no hell week, only hell year.
Soldi- I mean, students, who go through this training are often masters of stealth, as they are no where to be found socializing. In relation to that, they are also equipped with knowledge on how to deal with being captured behind enemy lines, as they have mad BSing skills, and enough acting skills to hide the 30 mins of sleep they had last night.

Normal Student: Yeah, I went through 3 tours in high school, I served in the dash 1 regiment. How about you?

Stands for the international baccalaureate. It is a deadly program design to turn the purest of kids to FORTNITE. This program teaches you how to bullshit and waste your time and force you to have no social life. The only reason you do this program is to have an excuse to look down on all the HSC kids.
Oh you're doing IB? Have fun with having shit teachers, no social life and not friends apart from your IB mates and still failing.
