  1. Good morning (or good evening) ladies and gentlemen I decided to start a topic which I haven't seen on this forum before, but which can definitely make someone smile. IB and other education levels are hard - we as the youth of this world have so much pressure upon us that we break sometimes. Some of us fall hard but stand back up, where as some have troubles after trying to get back up a few times. There are also so many different reasons for people to be upset, and it's really a shame that people have to feel that way. Since the rate of anxiety, depression, and suicide has been rising in the recent years amongst teenagers, I thought that some small acts may help us all. In this topic you can write anything nice. Motivate people, say it gets better, maybe give an inspirational story. I would like this to be the piece of forum where everyone who gets overwhelmed with stress can read and maybe smile a little. Every small act counts, so let me begin: Every day is a new day, and a new chapter in your life. Try to make it the best one so far. You can write as little as one sentence. It doesn't have to be something specific, yet something uplifting would be... nice
  2. Hello everyone So, this part of the forum kind of died out, therefore I decided to make a topic about the thing that has been bothering me for the past few months. We all go to school, or went at one point in our lives. We were graded on our tests, and those tests gave us an idea on our knowledge about the subject… But can they really tell us whether we are/were intelligent? Nowadays the pressure on recieving good grades is so high every 5th high-school student confessed that (s)he has experienced school-related anxiety. I know people who get really good results and I know people who barely pass. Both of those groups act in a similar way, and their non-academic skills seem to be around the same level. I know there is a positive corelation between good grades and intelligence, but the argument that they separate the "good students" from the "bad students" seems wrong to me. Einstein failed school when he was younger, and even the teachers told him he would never archieve something in his life. Yet his IQ has been determined to be around 160 and he turned out to be one of the most known scientist in the world. Grades are important to get into good university, and to test our knowledge, but can they really define us and our level of intelligence? Isn't intelligence something much more complex than just a number on a piece of paper? I have arguments for both sides and I can't wait to read your responses. Mac117
  3. Hello fellow (future) IB students! I know this question might seem kind of random especially when people who started IB have only few days left before their options are locked, whereas the ones starting IB next year (like me) still have tons of time to choose their subjects.... But let me explain Few days ago I came across an old post where someone recommended Pamojaeducation.com to another student. Now this seems like a really good option, their passing rate is higher than the global one, so here's my question. Is it really a nice experience? Are the $2000 spent on the online course really worth it? This could solve my issue and I wouldn't have to change schools to be able to take the course I want to take. So, any experiences with pamoja or any other online course provider? If so, please describe your experience. I need to send my application for other schools til the 21st of October, therefore help would be much appreciated! Sincerely, A confused future IB student. Ps. The course I'm interested in taking is psychology SL. I want to pursue a medical career in the future, and probably get a bachelor degree in psychology. That's why I want to see whether psychology is something for me. Also, please don't make the cost of the course the main reason for why it's not worth taking the online course. There's scholarships and I have funds to pay for most of it saved.
