[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm from India. There was no differentiation in elementary or middle school. 6 year olds were in 1st grade, so it was the same as the U.S. I remember learning all my multiplication tables in 1st grade, and having verbal quizzes and games in school. Algebra and geometry started in 4th grade. These subjects were taught every year, and for everyone from that point onward. Trigonometry was started in 6th grade. Everyone started calculus in 9th. Tracking into educational fields (science, humanities, or social science) started in 11th grade. The science track in 11th and 12th grade did really high level math, the social science kids did the next level. The humanities kids had the "easiest" math but it still required continuing with calculus.  [/quote]

What percentage of Indian children are in these types of schools?[/quote]

Based on their scores on international tests, Indians are kicking some butt! 72/73, but hey, they beat Kyrgyzstan!
