[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone who got primarily and secondary education from outside of US and attended college in US knows these scores are representative. Every college professor knows this. If you never get primary education outside US, you don't even know you what don't know. [/quote] Is there a specific area where the US curriculum is lacking, in your opinion? Or is this an overall impression? I'm wondering, since it is an interesting question. Also, because it is a useful question for parents who are school shopping or supplementing at home. It's always good to know what big thing you are not seeing.[/quote] it's not the curriculum. Mostly it's the teachers. In my home country, teaching is a profession that is highly respected and hard to get in. This holds true in both primarily and secondary schools. Some of the best students go to teaching. It's not the same here and good teachers are particularly lacking in elementary schools. [/quote]
