[quote=Anonymous]Most exchange students find American schools to be rather easy. Pretty much every student we have ever hosted has told is this. Add in different attitudes towards teachers as well. Perhaps he should take harder classes and/or he needs to increase his extracurriculars. Explain that Exchanges are largely cultural, with academics simply something one must do in order to maintain one's standing in the program. Growth happens through involvement with friends and the broader community. If he has not made many friends, that's yet another area for him to focus on. Finally, there are a range of abilities in all education systems. Simply point that out and ignore him thereafter. You've both made your points and it's largely time for both of you to move on.
