For sure, and this is one of my biggest objections to the IB program. I think the IB program is not for every student, in fact, not for many. But, at the schools where I live where most of the schools are IB schools (International location), kids are kicked out in 9th and 10th grade if they are not going to do well enough to get the IB diploma- including kids who have been at a given private school since Kindergarten.

To me this is an absolute contradiction to the stated notion that IB is somehow such a superior program in terms of sensitizing kids to the needs of the world… at least as this is interpreted in the schools locally.
