[edit] 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.

[edit] 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.

[edit] 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).

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

[edit] 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. ˜˜˜˜
