Everything he's said is true.Take it from someone who knows and has attended both systems. American high schools are easy. To put it in perspective (and this is the first time I am saying this here), after 4th grade I went to Italian schools, was an above-average student (but nothing special) and had little or no access to things American (ahhh...the pre-Internet days). I came back here for the summer on vacation (planning to return to Italy to finish school) after my third year of HS. I took the GED on a whim just to see where I was, and MAXED it. needless to say I stayed and went straight to college that fall so that I could join the Army. My first semester I took four classes and got three As and a B. This after having only gone though 4th grade in America and as I said not reading, listening or speaking English with hardly anyone except when I use to visit here or viceversa, some American relatives of mine would visit us in Italy. In Italian schools I was just the equivalent of an A and B student like so many others. Here I was suddenly some kind of genius. |
