[quote=Anonymous]As a child educated in India till 10th grade I have to say the U.S system is VERY lacking. I had to take Economics, Geography, Physics, Chem, Bio, English literature, English grammar, Mathematics, Geography, 2nd language all from 8th to 10th grade, and in 11th grade you went into selected subjects depending on what you wanted to major in college in. This was a English medium school, private school, everything taught in English. I believe in the general government school, the children had to take all these courses also except Economics, maybe. And, studying included a lot of reading of your textbook and memorization of facts (this seems to be something kids are being taught not to do here). I was taught Julius Caesar, and poems from author's like Robert Frost. I had read the understood the Canterbury tales, and other classical poems to name a few. [/quote]
