PoV

As a DP senior, I can certainly understand the frustration many MYP students must face. Wikipedia, however, is not the place to vent this frustration. This article is fine, for the most part, but had a whole bunch of lines that were clearly written by frustrated MYPers. Lines such as

However, most students decide to abandon the IBO after having experienced the tedious MYP programme.

are unsourced, and words like "tedious" are red flags for PoV statements. Is there a study to back up this claim? If so, cite it! If not, please don't put it in. You'll find that citation will be a handy skill to have once you're writing your EE. Unless, of course, you decide to abandon the IBO ;-) I've removed the PoV statements, went back to the basic facts, and I'm hoping- nay, praying- that you'll keep this article factual, properly sourced, and encyclopedic. --~Ça Suffit~ (talk) 06:20, 12 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Environment AoI

Changing the name of the AoI "the environment" and removing the link. The AoI is called "environment" and the link does not serve to improve the understanding of what this is within the MYP context.

Personal project

I've added further information about the personal project, since it's a fairly major part of the MYP cirriculum. Based primarily on my own experience as an MYP student – little bit of trivia, I used Ultima Linux for my project – not sure how much of it is specific to my school and how much is done by all MYP schools, but I've got all the documentation for how to do the project, etc. here if anyone needs a copy.

I.B.No

Why isn't there any mention of the fact that IBO is all about learning how to bullshit? The secret to IBO is knowing how to transform 53 words into 2000 words while not adding any new information. Concise writing is the mark of an intelligent writer and yet this program demands that students drag out and fill in their ideas to fit requirements. Furthermore one learns how to bullshit in terms of Areas of Interaction and "connections". Everything about IBO is just so stupid and it focusses on such things as keeping logs for the personal project, which no one actually works on until the final week, meaning that they must invent months worth of emotions and commentary on a project that they completed in three days. The personal project, therefore, is truly a measure of how well one has come to master the IBO philosophy. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.53.137.52 (talk • contribs) 23:38, 1 November 2006 (UTC).[reply]

Fortunately the majority of students have learned to be honest, hard-working and have academic integrity. ˜˜˜˜

No, he's right. This is how many IB students feel about the program.

its true, although bullshit might not be the correct term. there is procrastination. they give us so much work that to do it all and not procrastinate is impossible. Pikasneez27 02:08, 25 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Stop trolling please. Candy 19:48, 2 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Community and Service

I removed this section. The statements are inaccurate in that the IBO does not indicate nor mandate a minimum number of hours for this. It is Community and Service not Community Service. There is a clear distinction in philosophy between the two and it seem that the writer is mistaking perhaps incorrect implementation of the programme or is confusing it with CAS in the Diploma programme?. Refer to the IBO AoI subject guide for more information. ˜˜˜˜

DGS

dartford grammar school was like the first state school in the uk and world to offer this course incorporatng into original courses, research this ad include! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.107.192.243 (talk) 14:43, 15 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

As of 2007 the school has been awarded the right to teach the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme, becoming the first school in Britain and the first state school in the world to teach the course. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.107.192.243 (talk) 14:46, 15 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sadly, not noteworthy with respect to the scope of the article whether verifiable or not. --Candy (talk) 21:31, 3 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Reverting deletion

There was a major section deleted from the article (which I take as vandalism as it was unexplained). I then managed to cock up the reversion and vandalised myself.

The article is back in skeleton form again. Sorry if I have destroyed any minor editing that someone feels attached to during my attempt. I also edited out some opinions too.

Next ... citations needed and will return to clean up more text. --Candy (talk) 17:03, 27 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Participation

Why is an entire section in the article devoted to a single school in the US? For now I'll add a notability tag to it. Truthkeeper88 (talk) 23:55, 16 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
