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

Xiggi, back to your original thoughts: is it worth it, will it divide, will it work?

I have been thinking. Because of its language component allowing for a bilingual diploma, I think it would be great for the borderlands to look into this program. I lived in Brownsville for a long while and I know the ups and downs of the region although I have been gone for almost 20 years and lots can change. I have always felt that the bilingual/bicultural nature of the border is one of the greatest natural resources in the USA. On consideration, I think the IB might be a program to consider. I know, I know, it would take time and energy and planning to make it really work, but it just might be worth it.
