[quote=Anonymous]Young people have lots of energy and back in the old country getting the energy out is number one thing. Only then can they concentrate on task at hand. Classes are 40 minutes maximum with 4-5 hours a day total time spent at school. I remember most topics even now 35 years later because everything was very compact to make time for PE, sports and recess. The teachers didn't waste any time because they only had 40 minutes to get something done. Teacher quality is also much higher there. Finishing high school is an accomplishment and getting into college to become a teacher is an accomplishment. In US and seems like in that UK school at least, it's quantity over quality, and the teacher mentions it when she reflects on her day. [/quote]
