A Bedford resident has asked the school district to be more transparent about the cost and political affiliations of Bedford High School’s International Baccalaureate program.
Ann Marie Banfield went before the Bedford Curriculum Committee on Tuesday, Oct. 12, to request that parents considering the IB program for their children be given a 21- page article titled “International Baccalaureate Unraveled.”
The article, written by Arizona author Debra K. Niwa, details several alleged failings of the IB program, including its cost, educational philosophy and its formal relationship with the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization.
The file in question can be found here and is a must-read for every parent: IB Unraveled
