[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC is in 10th grade in a magnet school in the South. Kids in this school came from all over the state.

In an engineering class they had to do a session on educating students how to use a ruler and a protractor.  It turns out, many kids didn’t know what a protractor was or how to use the ruler correctly.

[b]I remember that DC had lined notebook in math throughout the entire 10 grades.[/b]

I’m an immigrant and in Eastern Europe we learned how to use rulers in 1st grade and protractor in 4th grade.

American education is a joke.[/quote]

What is the meaning and significance of the bolded?

I don't find it surprising that a school with students from all over the state would discover some kids have uneven instruction in math. It reflects poor logic skills on your part that you believe your child's classroom is a perfect reflection of "American education." Or that you think that because you learned to use a protractor in elementary, your country if origin has a great education system.

But by all means, if you think education in this country is "a joke," pull your kid and educate them at home or elsewhere. I assume your child will not attend an American university? Since it's such a joke to you. You will send them to college back in your home country, yes? So they can get a proper education.[/quote]
