I seriously will. As soon as I get a job going and have some extra money. Probably by this summer!
How's the school system up there? More than likely a LOT better than it is here.
As that show was saying, other countries treat the schools like a business. Like the U.S., a kid is anoted with a certain amount of money. Well, they say "It's 10,000$ a year per student", whatever that means. I certainly don't know where that money goes. But in other countries, it FOLLOWS the student and the student/parents get to PICK which school thier child goes to, instead of getting shipped to one like in the U.S. - thus making each of the schools/teachers/principals work harder so that you'll want your kid to go to thier school, or they'll have to shut down.
i think that is brilliant, and it onviously works, but govenors have tried to get it going here in the states, but the teacher's union and others protest it and it never can get through.
Actually, I'm not saying this to offend anyone, but the schooling here in the Philippines is MUCH harder than the schooling in the States. Thats why I transferred here in 2004.
You're SO very lucky to have had that oppertunity. I can't stand it here and I fear for my child's LIFE. He'll he 1 years old in July, and I want to be out of here [the US] by the time he turns 5 so that he doesn't have to attend school here.
yeah, mom and i watched it together. coming from russia, my moms really dissapointed in school systems here. shes actually a tacher in 6th grade at FGMS. it seems like shes the only taeaching them everyday.. she has discipline in her class, her classes have the highest scores in the school, yet she teaches regular kids, not even the gifted, etc. shes applying stuff from when she was a techer from back in her country and really trying to make these kids learn. and seeing the teachers around her and my teachers just makes her want to cry, to see how all these potential kids could be doctors, lawyers, u name it, yet no one is supporting them. no one cares. its scary.
I feel totally jipped. I feel like I could have occomplished so much more and had so much more intellect had I NOT participated in American schooling and lived somewhere else. It isn't fair. Kids in Europe excel so much further, faster, than us, graduate at age 15/16, then go right on to college. And here, we graduate at 18 [well, SOME of us do. Most don't graduate at all] and them MAYBE we'll go on to college, but more than likely not.
If it weren't for my family, I would have moved out of the US already. I am so sick of this country.
