[quote=Anonymous]In many developing Asian countries, public high schools just can’t afford to track students by ability, especially when classes often have teacher to student ratio of 1:40 to 60. Everyone has to go through the same math class, with no option to choose different levels, like gened or honors dont exist. The curriculum is the same for all, and it usually includes advanced topics like calculus and statistics. Unlike the U.S., where public schools have billions of dollars in budget and can support differentiated learning, most asian countries just don’t have the financial resources. Whether a student is struggling or excelling doesnt matter, they’re all taught the same material, which is equivalent to slightly more than honors level in US. A lot of students there graduate with just a C or D in math, but a good number still manage to get an A—which, in many cases, means scoring 70% or higher. [/quote]
