get #IBScandal trending !!!

...and invalidate the program in the eyes of universities and possibly negatively affect those of us who received desirable scores this year. Many universities award credits/units/etc. to students who get a certain score and this significantly reduces the cost of attending university. It can hurt students in the future (M21) who have applied themselves very deliberately in their schooling only to learn that the academic program in which they have been so devoted to is being seen as invalid. The program has its obvious flaws and speaking up against those flaws which are indeed repairable is the right thing to do. However, the situation the IB was placed in is unprecedented and they had not much time to come up with a new way to grade their students as fairly as possible. I know that getting bad scores sucks but trying to ruin their reputation bc shit hit the fan (a situation which no one has ever prepared for) and you scored lower than your predicted marks (which are often inflated) is selfish. Again, I know it sucks but the argument the #IBscandal movement is perpetuating just seems biased and looks like whining. Many got bad scores and many got good scores, just like every other year.
