Discussion How much does education differ in your country?

[SoytanEnthusiast]

Like exams, classes, how much does it differ school to school? At mine you can only pick German as a third language but I know a guy who can pick from French, German or Latin. Some schools just have Arabic, some Persian. Other than that, Turkish schools don't really differ. There are science highschools and normal highschools and career highschools (don't know appropriate translation) and art schools and sports schools bla bla but other than that it doesn't really differ individually

Depends on what % of the school is White/Asian (elementary-high school). Muttistan has the best schools and the worst schools in the world. It all depends on which one you are in. General trends, albeit are that they have weaker foreign language programs, because what other language would you speak over American (English classes). There is a meme about the high school to college pipeline, but most American high schools have some kind of "High school vocational education" program. Even in terrible American schools, you can easily come out as a skilled tradesman (The issue is there aren't a ton of 16-year-olds that want to spend their high school years learning to become an electrician nor want to be a tradesmen). Schools can be really big, so even if you go to a terrible ghetto school like I had to, you can still have really high-level honors and AP classes. Outside of the USSR, the scholastic athletics in American schools is hard to match. Biggest issue with the US school system is that public schools are just government schools. Outside of Norway which has a population of 5 million people and in general has one of the best school systems on earth, no country spends more money per student than the USA. 60% of the schools in the USA are dogshit and there are a lot more than 5 million students in the USA.

All of this goes out the window if you are in private school. In general, Catholic and Private schools are very good all around. If your parents have the spare few $100,000s lying around, you can be sent to a very high-end private school where you will be groomed into a sports star and genius. The government fucks you for doing this by still taxing you for government schools but at this point it's the least of this country's issues.

Tldr: You get what you put in.

Even if your school doesn’t have a lot of AP classes for you to take you may still be able to take the exam and maybe get some college credit. If you want to do that talk with whoever is in charge of AP exams at your school to see if you can self-study for whichever exams you want to take

I am just trying to be general. I'm not even touching STEM schools, dual credits, developmental preschools, and yada yada yada. Out of the 16,000 highschools, I couldn't imagine even 10% of them not having access to AP classes and like you said you can just take the exams anyways. With such a big and bloated school system there are exceptions with exceptions with exceptions.

I went to schools in the U.S and Russia.

They offer language programs much earlier in Russia, there were weekly Spanish afterschool classes in elementary school in America but it's an official class you have to take from basically the getgo in Russia. It's either German or English as a requirement from what I can remember, but of course you can choose more.

There aren't as many honors and AP classes but the classes in general are harder than in America. It's because there's no real need to take an AP class instead of taking that class in higher education since it's all paid for if you make it. There are also no school-sponsored sports teams like most of Europe.

There are 3 main types of highschools (even doe last one isn't really one):
-liceum - normal highschool that lasts 4 years that prepares you to matura exam
-technikum - like liceum, but with technical subjects added and lasts 5 years
-zawodówka - profession school, usually all local gopnik-type retards go here. Probably 2-3 years.
Also when I graduated liceum was 3-year school and technikum was 4-year school. It's because in 2015 some Catholic Socialist party took power and they reverted some changes that were considered good during communism. One of them was removing middle-schools because they were hated to the oblivion (gopniks and other kids were learning together).

Also there are gemmy videos what happens in these zawodówkas:

School is same for everyone anywhere. Except for highschool which depends on the field that you choose yourself (the three main fields are science, mathematics and humanities. There are more than just those three you can choose if you want to go broke like art and religious studies for example). Depending on your field you get different subjects.
Also we have a mandatory subject that teaches you about the religion you were born into so if you're a religion minority (sunni islam, zoroastrianism, christianity, etc) you get a different book from others.
