[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Whatever the hell they're doing in Singapore, Korea, Japan, and Hong Kong, that's what we should be doing here.

Here are a few differences:[b]
1.  School year is much longer
2.  School day is much longer
3.  Children begin school at age 3
4.  Curriculum is more conceptual
5.  Textbooks are not a mile-wide and an inch deep, but are focused around the central principles of an academic domain.  
6.  Parents are highly involved, seeing themselves as partners with the teachers in helping students to learn
7. When students arrive home at night around 6pm after a long day at school, many go to juko school (cram school) starting at 7pm.
8.  Teachers are treated as professionals.[/b]

I could go on telling you that when these studies like PISA and TIMSS studies control for SES, USA looks about the same.  But, I won't because I don't have any respect for these ridiculous comparisons made with standardized testing.[/quote]

Other than #7, this looks [u]great[/u] to me!

I'll sign up for all of that, and if necessary?  Tracking included![/quote]

Me too! Oh, by the way, they don't track until High School, which is not compulsory![/quote]
