Precisely why the International Baccalaureate program needs to be in more schools around the world. I still think that educational programs should teach at the I.B. level and not differentiate the traditional material from the I.B. curriculum. If you encourage kids to learn and think differently at a young age, they will continue to be interested in learning. Obviously, not every student will take all I.B. level courses, but allowing them to find their “niche” (science, math, english, business, philosophy, etc) will give them the resources to succeed at whatever it is they pursue.
