[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s mind boggling to me why education in US is so subpar compared to poorer countries like India or Russia. American teachers are as a majority very mediocre and are poorly educated themselves. DC is a selective state public magnet school and they teach to level to get a 3 in AP classes. They had to do a special class in 9th grade on punctuation and in 10th grade on how to use the ruler and protractor. They’re teaching chemistry with open book for every quiz and test. DC barely has homework in high school because the teachers don’t want to grade it. The bar is so low.[/quote] You’re assuming why they don’t have homework. I’m a teacher and we don’t give homework because we aren’t allowed to. It isn’t equitable to give work for students to do at home when some students work after school or students have nobody to help with it. [/quote]
