This is the Conversation Forum for The International Baccalaureate << Other common misconception Pedantry >> Subject: ToK sucks! Posted Feb 8, 2004 by Yuvi   Posting 1 It is definantly the most elitist of the IB courses. My school's IB director, Ms Tookey (yes that is her real name) was the first person to come up and introduce the course as a requirement. All we do in class is take notes on philosophical gobbledy-gunk written by dead white guys and then take stressful finals forcing us to recall their "pearls of wisdom" example: "math is the logical dovetailing of a sparse, carefully chosen set of assumptions to their brilliant conclusions" or some like that. I believe that we don't need this class to "expand our horizons" because much of this "theory" comes from subjective articles. Also, we are discussing many philisophical ideas (existentialism,fate, the nature of reality, etc.) in other classes, like world literature.
