I should add that high school in Quebec, Canada is Grades 7-11 (ages 12 to 16). The kids then go off to CEGEP especially if they want to go to university. |
What does what other parts of the world do with their education system have to do with what America should do? I'm looking for something that could be the common denominator so that we can make these comparisons and then use other countries as examples for change.
