[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think this happens to people changing education systems all over. Kids switching from schools with APs to an IB program. Etc etc. One thing I can say with confidence about living in America is that your kid's destiny is not going to be determined by when they take AP calc. You're living in Virginia. You have a BUNCH of very good, in state colleges to choose from. If your kid is going to make it and be a success in this country, the schools here are more than good enough to make that happen even if you lose a year of course progression to switching countries. The other adjustments your child is making to language and culture are almost certainly much more important to their future. Your attitude sucks. [/quote] "Adjustments to the language and culture" so you're assuming he's having difficulties in this aspect? English is taught as a required subject in his previous school and as for this culture you speak of, a culture where incidents such as drug abuse, drinking and vaping within the campus are not reprimanded as strictly? And can't you empathise with him? [b]Imagine being downgraded or belittled in intellect and capability just because you're not the same ethnicity as them.[/b] that's the adjustment he's trying to overcome. [/quote] NP. Yes, this all happened because your kid is Asian. Had he been white, they would've given him a high school diploma already. /s[/quote]
