[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He’s from Germany. He 17 and has quite an ego. His English is formal, but excellent and he also speaks German and Spanish fluently. He’s not taking any math or science classes while he’s here because he doesn’t like those subjects. He comes home from school every day telling me how the Americans can’t read, don’t know geography, history etc. I’m really tired of hearing it. Help me survive this until June! [/quote] I’d point out that STEM is the primary focus and classical liberal arts is fading away. If you are in the DMV, point out that there is a split in education with the higher stat kids tracking toward the Asian model of highly competitive, high stats and acceleration while the humanities are being pushed down to the more vocational level. Offer to sign him up for multi variable and honors chem at a local community college if he needs more challenge. Schools don’t teach history and geography anymore. [/quote]
