standard track Asia = standard track US

Nah, standard track in Asia and Europe = advanced track in US if that.[/quote]

Citation/example?

Here we go again. My kid is in AAP and I regularly check on him and help with his math/science some times (Ex. I always try to prove the formulas so he doesn’t automatically assume that formulas fall from sky and must be memorized). I studied in Asia and there was no separate advanced for us and still I always tell my kid that math and tests we had to do were definitely a lot more challenging. Our screening/entrance tests were whole another level and required extensive after school prep as our schools wouldn’t cover the level of difficulty. This is my personal experience and take it with grain of salt and you don’t need to believe what I say - it doesn’t really make any difference to either of us. Did you ever wonder why Asians are generally good at math? There is no real magic there and Asians are not inherently better at math. Asians put a lot of emphasis on math and hope their kids work at least as hard as they did and better if possible and use their experience to guide them. 😀 - I am sure we will find a lot more kids take on so called advanced math with proper emphasis and good teaching.

I agree that the teaching and reinforcement is lacking here. Not challenging enough from that perspective.

Someone said the content covered in the US “advanced” track was like the “standard” track elsewhere. No one has demonstrated that yet.
