[quote=Anonymous][quote]I think consistency is lacking here. But, I hate to be negative about schools here, many are good schools. I think classical education, same teachers for many years, being with same kids during elementary school, no changing groups. And curriculum is pretty set, whole country expects you to know this and that by certain age... By 5th grade, we had to know exact dates of WWI and WWII, and classes are 45 minutes. There was no choosing which subject to study in high school, it was all set. But, I wanted to add that after 8th grade there was a choice/necessity to go to grammar/comprehensive high school or vocational high school, entry into high school was based on grades and entry exam. In one city I could choose to apply to several high schools not based on zone I lived in but based on my preference, what my plans for college were and my academics so far. BTW, I am not Italian, but our school systems are very much alike.[/quote] Years ago, public schools here were like that. The change? Vocational ed became a no-no. Many kids dropped out in eighth grade. Etc. Now, everyone is expected to prep for college. There are two ways to close a gap. From the top or from the bottom. [/quote]
