[quote=Anonymous]I am italian and attended a “classical” highschool. In Italy after middle school you can choose 2 types of high schools: professional schools (learn a trade) or “liceo” (prepare you for university. Among the “liceo” there are 4 different fields in order of “prestige”: classical, scientific, linguistic, artistic. In the classical liceo students focus their learning on Ancient Greek, Latin, philosophy, history and literature. There is a lot of reading, writing and translating. Math and science is minimal. Traditionally, this is the hardest course of study with toughest academics and where the smartest and hard working students go. It’s different from the US where STEM seems to be the most important/prestigious component. I went o the classic liceo and college in the US was extremely easy in comparison (even considering the new language)[/quote]
