Hey Byamba, I'm not really a big Sumo wrestling fan but I can definatley appreciate the dedication and hard work that guys like you put into it. The question I had was one of Sumo hierarchy - I don't know if it still exists but I heard that in Japan, people purposely loose matches because if they were to win, everyone would be very angry - because apparently they hold wrestlers in much more high regard if you establish yourself and make gains through long periods of time/dedication (years); - rather than a "Mike Tyson" so to speak, who just demolishes all his opponents even though he's only been sumo wrestling for a year or less. Thoughts?

Thanks

I was going to ask this same question. Instead I'll just give you my two cents - IB is worthless because of the fact that few schools accept it as a higher degree of education. I mean I thought that was the whole point, to challenge myself and at the same time, get college credit. Instead, all I got was a bit poorer and IB got a bit richer. Is the only difference in AP the fact that it is more guided (as to what students have to do) and that more colleges accept it?
