The caption by Dr. Sam Taylor read, \u201c…Ozark has officially been accepted into the IB program and will become a fully-authorized school.\u201d<\/p>\n
What our school principal did not say is, \u201c…any school willing to pay the exorbitant fees to the Switzerland based corporation can become a fully-authorized IB school.\u201d If you pay, you play.<\/p>\n
The sense of accomplishment is a hoax, no different from the process by which the Ozark School District was led into becoming a U.N. partnered, IB school.<\/p>\n
IB schools are required to teach and reinforce the doctrine of international socialism in each and every subject offered to its participants.<\/strong> It is this requirement that makes IB an indoctrination program and not an educational program, as our misleaders would have us believe.<\/p>\n In the very same week that Ozark became an IB school, the state of New Hampshire approved a bill allowing parents to pull their children from any school using the International Baccalaureate program and it also established a committee to study that same IB program.<\/p>\n You see, the facade is coming off of this U.N. educational system being implemented by those of the political left.<\/p>\n Sadly, our incompetent school board, with a wink and a nod from our high school principal and superintendent, implemented this foreign program without a word of input being entertained from the public \u2014before\u2014 it voted to pursue the IB program. Each and every meeting was closed. Each and every participant of those meetings was a subordinate to, and chosen by, the principal and superintendent. And, all of this was accomplished ignoring the advice and recommendations of the IB program, which is why I used the word incompetent.<\/p>\n This is a very sad commentary on what should be an inclusive and congenial small community.<\/p>\n Bernie Kennetz<\/p>\n This letter was originally printed in the Ozark Headliner: http:\/\/ccheadliner.com\/opinion\/letter-wheels-coming-off-ib-program\/article_ba0c8b56-8e22-11e1-a258-0019bb2963f4.html<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" To the Editor, The caption by Dr. Sam Taylor read, \u201c…Ozark has officially been accepted into the IB program and will become a fully-authorized school.\u201d What our school principal did not say is, \u201c…any school willing to pay the exorbitant fees to the Switzerland based corporation can become a fully-authorized IB school.\u201d If you pay, […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_s2mail":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-419","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-opinion"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.mvsd-ib.org\/ib\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/419","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.mvsd-ib.org\/ib\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.mvsd-ib.org\/ib\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.mvsd-ib.org\/ib\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.mvsd-ib.org\/ib\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=419"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"http:\/\/www.mvsd-ib.org\/ib\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/419\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":421,"href":"http:\/\/www.mvsd-ib.org\/ib\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/419\/revisions\/421"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.mvsd-ib.org\/ib\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=419"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.mvsd-ib.org\/ib\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=419"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.mvsd-ib.org\/ib\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=419"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
