[quote=Anonymous]If you want to see how Singapore school system works, go to you tube and search for the video Inside Singapores Elite Education System by SBS Dateline The show walks through the pressure that 11 year olds have on them to prepare for the test to attend HS. A low score sends you to vo Tech school where they teach things like cooking and how to be a barista. This schooling starts at 12. 70% of kids are participating in tutoring programs. The kid that they followed is in school from 9-1:30, science tutoring for 2 hours, drama class for 2 hours, and then has 2 hours of homework before bed. So when we are comparing HS test scores, remember that we are comparing only the kids who test into the college prep classes vs all of the kids who attend HS in the US. And this system is not unique to Singapore, it exists across a lot of Asia. European education is somewhere between the US and Singapore. [/quote]
