So what are the differences? First up, the International Baccalaureate. The IB is divided into six groups: language, second language, individuals and societies, mathematics and computer science, experimental sciences and the arts. Three of these groups are taught at a “higher” level, and more teaching hours are allocated to them. In addition, pupils complete an extended essay, follow a Theory of Knowledge course (TOK) and participate in the CAS (Creativity, Action, Service) programme, which encompasses sport, arts and community work.
Such a spread of subjects suits all-round pupils who don’t wish to drop from around 10 GCSEs to three or four AS subjects; the emphasis on personal research undoubtedly prepares pupils effectively for the academic and organisational rigours of university life. However, all six subject groups must be completed, meaning that one weaker subject can drag down an entire IB score.
I think you'd have to be pretty careful to avoid making it really problematic. (Evil mens with their uncontrollable urges, preying on the innocent womens! Ladies, resist your sinful thoughts!) But I'm sure a love interest who feeds off your terror wouldn't be a barrel of laughs either.
I hope I do it justice, even if I have to check things on the Wiki.
