the important thing is to make the children happy and interested. Schools in the
United States have always stressed character training or social skills training through extracurricular activities. School and home are closely linked, and there is, ideally at least, a sense of partnership between teachers and parents.
Higher Education: American education on the college level is provided by more than 3000 institutions. Some of them are supported privately and some by local and state government. Most are coeducational. Since World War Ⅱ, one of the most dramatic developments in higher education has been the enormous increase in the number of students. This expansion reflects the nation’s population explosion as well as a trend toward democratizing higher education.
Degrees: After completing four academic years with acceptable grades in an approved course of study, the student earns Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree. A master’s degree can be earned by one or two academic years of study beyond the bachelor’s degree. A ph.D.degree usually takes at least years beyond the master’s. About one-fifth of college graduates continue with studies for masters’ or doctors’ degrees in their own major subjects or professional qualifications in law, medicine, business, etc. in graduate professional schools.
As far as I’m concerned, American education system is better than any other countries’ in the world. It provide more opportunities for students to go to further education. Even so, it also has some shortcomings, but it is improving and will be better and better.
