About that nice sounding "International Baccalaureate Programme" being promoted here in Gilford...
On Friday students gathered at Carpy Field with their umbrellas before marching through downtown and arriving back at Carpy Field, where they had a hamburger lunch. On the way students flashed peace signs and some could be heard chanting, “No more war.”
Don't worry, though, because it's all thanks to St. Helena's
adoption of the International Baccalaureate program, which teaches students how to be a part of a global community.
Ugh! You'll cringe when you learn how deeply into local schools UNESCO and the UN have driven. Is this what parents want from their children's schools? If they only knew!

Here in Gilford, when promoting the program, the Superintendent mentions, according to meeting minutes that large portions of its education philosophy follow Dewy very closely. Find out about Dewey here. Yikes!
