[quote=Anonymous]+1. WE're from Germany, at YY. We've posted on other thread about our good experiences there. We like the school because the Mandarin instruction is very good, but we don't understand why offering different levels for middle school subjects is hardly done in DC, and elsewhere in the USA. In Germany, and the rest of Europe, it's normal. In Germany, even if your child attends a gymnasium (most academic type of school) there will be two or three levels for most subjects, enabling the most academic children to do much more advanced work than in America. When parents ask for that here, they seem to get called names, snobs, racists etc. Voters worry about economic competitiveness while the American parents we know seem to worry most about school atmosphere, they want a caring, safe, nurturing atmosphere with involved parents more than difficult subjects for the smartest children. We don't understand this attitude. [/quote]
