[quote=Anonymous]My dad spent a year as a teen in France and made the same observation. And he came from a highly-ranked school in Massachusetts, which we know has some of the best schools in the US. His takeaway was that teachers taught to the best in France, and expected everyone else to catch up, where teachers here wait until the slowest student grasps a concept before moving on. OP, it’s clearly something that irks him. I know him continuing to bring it up is annoying, but why don’t you engage him on the subject proactively and in “time boxed” contexts. It’s probably just a potent form of homesickness, also. [/quote]
