[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. I remember that DC had lined notebook in math throughout the entire 10 grades. 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] I went to a magnet school in EE. Even though only the best kids in the county got into the school, we still had big differences in prior education we had received. My friend had to catch up with her German and another classmate in English. My reading and writing sucked and they still do. We all turned out fine. The kids in your child's class will be fine. They know things your kid doesn't know. The good thing about EE right now is that some of the old teachers are still teaching. While they follow the new curriculum, they also add some old things they find necessary. These teachers will be gone soon. Nobody wants to become a teacher because of low pay. Just wait for it, and check the PISA for the changes. What's the ranking of your EE country in 2022? [/quote]
