As a recent immigrant, I've noticed that the three most obvious differences to Europe are...\n\n(1) Tenure. Underperforming teachers must be fired. Tenure is ridiculous.\n\n(2) Underfunding is common world-wide. However, bizarrely in the US, non-critical programs are not cut first. In Europe underfunded schools focus on Math and English, all else is sacrificed before these. However it appears social studies and other non-critical courses continue regardless of overall funding.\n\n(3) You must stream kids based on skills. It is ludicrous to think a "no child is left behind" system will work, a more apt name would be "no child allowed to get ahead".\n\nBeyond this, I would suggest, get parents out of the class room, (no idea why this is thought to be a good idea in the US) and bring back discipline.

From what I have seen, American High schools pale in comparison to schools in other developed countries.  What we seem to be about a school behind.  Our college is their high school, out high school is their middle school.\n\nWhen I went to Europe on an exchange, the students in 10th grade were learning calculus and they had to take like 4 languages.  At home I was taking geometry and one measly Spanish class.\n\nAnd Asia is a WHOLE different story.  Their 5 year olds are smarter than American high schoolers.\n\nI think its a bit of a shame, but our government is so scared to single people out or leave people behind.  Everyone has to have an equal opportunity.  And I am all for equal opportunity, but if a student refuses to take advantage of his opportunity, then screw him.  Our laws keep "dumbing down" the curriculum and forcing homogeneous grouping (no smart kids classes and dumb kids classes) so the motivated kids get bored and aren't challenged, and the lazy kids don't do any better because they don't want to and they have no intent of trying any harder.  Schools can't kick out students who don't want to learn, and teachers get put in the middle of the whole mess.\n\nAnyway, I will stop ranting now...

First I have to know which country you are talking about\n\n\nIn India---Maharashtra\nMy son has appeared for X this year---results awaiting\n\n1---We got all the question papers from the book stores\n2---We also purchased Model Answers of Merit Students\n\nBut if you are talking about model ANSWERS printed by the BOARD then your teachers would be willing to oblige if you ask them sweetly---make a xerox copy for yourself and return the original

I found two sites that might help you.  The first is a national comparison, done by the NEA.  The second one will help you compare standards between states and is a little easier to navigate.\n\nhttp://www.nea.org/edstats/images/05rankings.pdf#search='national%20education%20rankings'\n\nhttp://www.schoolmatters.com/App/SES/SPSServlet/StaticMenuRequest?MenuType=comparing_across_states.shtml&MenuLevel=1&Site=pes&StateCompare=0&StateID=1036196&Sel=1036195&LocationID=1036195&StateLocLevelID=676&LocLevelID=162

My high school was/is a Catholic stuffy rigid academic school. We hardly did well in any sporting activity but always did well in the braniac areas. For the most part my high school was divided into 3 main sections. Students that were upper middle class that had something to prove(mainly popularity and materialistically.) Second group was the brainiacs that snubbed the popular kids with their braniac elitism. The third group were ones that were just trying to survive and not fall between the cracks of the system. We all wore uniforms and mostly from the same heritage.

Two main things in play:\n\n1) Athleticism:: As athleticism is generally spread evenly across the country (i.e. being born in California gives you same chances of having athletic ability as being born in Idaho)\n2) Proximity to Scouts: More resources draw more attention from colleges & pros.\n\nTherefore, the best high school would have to be the one that has the largest student body population.

Hi, I'm an Indian, doing B.Sc. from an American college.\nI feel that though American colleges have been good in giving practical knowledge, it is loosing on the account of theoritical knowledge. Just for a basic example, in India, a 14 year old student knows what is trigonometry, which is taught much later to an American student. Although, as i said, practicality wise, American education is very good.

I cannot help you but You can find scholarships.  In Europe there are many schools offer scholarships for India. Every US school has a scholarship for your education. First thing is you should know where to study and what to study? Make yourself clear in your idea.  Help yourself. No one will help. Best of Luck.

1.  There is never two countries identically for their educational system.  Instead of identity, there may be similarities between them like Canada and United States.\n\nThe grade level is just a very small pie of the whole educational system.  We can not assume that there are two countries have 5 -3-4-4 (US and Canada), so they are the same. They are NOT the same.\n\n2.  There are no criteria for the best one because every system has bad and good aspects.  Some "good" ones are United States, England, Canada, Singapore.\n\n3.   It's hard to determine which one better, like Europe you may have England better than Japan as England is well-known, but we don't know the rest.
