To IB or not to IB ... That is the question

I agree that there is a discernible amount of inequality between teachers at my high school. The first day of school this year a brand-new regulars chemistry teacher quit because he was so overwhelmed by what he had experienced in a misbehaved and unruly class the first day. Teachers of IB courses are privileged, in my opinion; we are all generally intelligent, eloquent, and mature for our age, we all work hard, we don’t cheat.

While IB does prevent me from being bored, a lot of the work that is required is in my opinion largely boring and kind of a waste of time. However, I’m sticking to it just because the alternative is worse.
