well i heared from my niece who lived in america for a year or so that school is rather easy, the kids went to school from 8 to 14h and then go back home, idk if this count for all of the USA but i tought it needed some improvement, i mean here we had (highschool) from 8.30h to 17h.
i think this is a very intresting subject, education, personaly i think that my country (belgium) needs improvements on the subject math and science also the overall subject of social classes like pedagogy, which i think should be in every highschool program. regards

Obviously they only added clips with the complete morons.
However the average American rather IS uneducated. Of course I blame the educational system in the USA for continuing to teach good old self-centered inside the box isolationist methodology to our younglings. Ask the average American what the most evil nation in the world is. Your reply will be something along the lines of Germany and Hitler. As for European stereotypes, there are plenty: Ze French: Everyone knows Frenchies are cowards, their tanks have 4 gears backward and 1 gear forward. On top of it they eat frogs and slugs and have poor hygiene. English: Brits talk stuffy always, have obsessions with tea and biscuits, and have horrible teeth. Cute little punk bikers. Spaniards: Bull fighters who speak a loud squeaky dialect of Spanish. Enjoy throwing crazy parties and dancing the flamenco. Swedes: All Swedish women are gigantic blondes. Swedish people are pirates by default and worship Ikea. Poles: Poland itself is always thought of as some poor country. Common American saying that they're stupid. Catholics and sex crazed. Russians: Communists. Drink vodka 24/7. Live in the snow, and all Russian people are bears on unicycles. Enjoy. Offended? Yeah probably as much as I was. |
