[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Albert Einstein never went to cram school.[/quote] And if your kid isn't albert einstein?[/quote] My kid isn’t Einstein, and she never went to cram school, but she still scored 1550+ on the SAT (with an 800 math) and 5s on all her APs. I think the thing about Americans is that we think our A students will hit this bar regardless and our B students are better off finding another lane, not grinding and grasping for this one particular academic brass ring. I guess Korean society is less flexible, which seems sad to me (but perhaps that’s a very American attitude).[/quote] I know this will sound lame, but it is genuinely not difficult these days to score 1550+ and all 5s on APs because both the SAT and APs have been dumbed down from the time most DCUM parents took them in the 80s/90s. That most Americans are not scoring that way is telling you about the educational system here.[/quote]
