[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Really you should compare the last two years at HYP to Oxbridge. The high school systems are also different.[/quote] True, in America the liberal arts curriculum is done in the first two years of college, while in Britain and Europe you generally take care of that in high school. [/quote] One keeps hearing this hogwash and the precise opposite is true: Americans do more, not less of the liberal arts curriculum in high school. And they do even more in college. Brits study 3 and at most 4 subjects the last two years of high school — less than 1/2 their American peers. Top American students have all studied 4 years of math, science, foreign languages, history, and English in high school, amongst other fields. Brits simply haven’t (nor have most European students, though their education is still broader than the Brits). [/quote]
