[quote=Anonymous]Do not take this personally! For a lot of Europeans, Americans ARE dumb! Understand that in many European countries only about 10% top students go to university. The rest go to trade schools or get other training. When I came here for grad school and had to teach a college level class, I was in shock at the low ability of students! My classes required math knowledge and it was almost non-existent, in fact laughable. We don't see those type of kids at the universities and high school in Germany is meant as a prep for university studies, not just a place to prolong childhood. That said, I'm surprised the kid is not taking any math/science classes as those at AP levels are actually reasonably good. Next time get yourself a female exchange student from South America to be more at your level. [/quote]
