[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do you want your child to be years ahead? [/quote] So we can complete globally. Duh. The indian republican guy had a point you know.[/quote] They don’t need to be three years ahead to be efficient in math. If a student is good at math and is very interested in it then let them take the top levels starting in middle school. If they succeed at the AP math classes they can get a perfect SAT math score and go to MIT. Their math education will continue and they will have the necessary background. I don’t think it’s helpful to give stress to kids when it can be avoided. There are probably a handful of kids at schools who can easily move faster than the others but a large majority will benefit from being on the standard track for good math students. [/quote] Oh no, let us not stress our precious little angels. The Indians can do that with their children. When ours are working in the field for their Indian masters, maybe you will rethink? [/quote] India has 1.5 billion people. About 40% of Indian teens continue on to high school. Only about 8% of Indians in their home country graduate from high school. India is near the bottom in every study on countries education rank. According to a report by the World Economic Forum (WEF), the quality of India’s education ranked 90th in the world, with skills such as critical thinking and problem-solving ranked among the lowest (Source: WEF, 2021). The US ranks 13th give or take depending on study. The top ranking countries are in Northern Europe not Asia. The largest broad subject area at undergraduate level is Arts (34%), followed by Science (15%), Commerce (13%) and Engineering & Technology (12%). At the postgraduate (master’s degree) level the top broad subject area is Social Science (21%) followed by Science (15%) and Management (14%), and at PhD level the largest number of students are enrolled in Engineering &Technology (25%) followed by Science (21%). When most people compare Indian kids to American kids they are comparing kids from India who moved to the US. India’s schools are outdated and teach mostly rote learning. India is not a country to admire in any way. The Indians born in a certain caste leave the country wealthy. India doesn’t bother educating most children after the 8th grade. The poor and rural kids have no chance or opportunities to move up the ladder. India is a dismal country that can’t take care of their own citizens. Stop thinking American Indians are typical average Indians. They aren’t. [/quote]
