You people are spoiled.
In Israel, the schooling system is so different that the only people
home-schooling are the ones with really, really bad grades and usually
more than just that for problems.
We have "final exams" on our last three years of school, which combined
with a year average form the grading system (plus a physchometric exam)
by which the universities (no colleges, really) choose who to accept.
The point is, we work very hard in our last few years in school
(espcially the last two) and even if you're is rather smart, it's still
a whole damn lot of work. Of course the real geniuses always have a good
time, but you gotta be REALLY smart for that. I'm talking about kids who
go to university when they're 15 to 17 years old.
I was in LA for 2 years, during my sixth and seventh grades; My
impression is that school in America, by experience, is MUCH easier!
Everything is less hard, less work, less everything. I think this has to
do with the level - in Israel the level is much higher, at least in
certain subjects. For example, part of our "final test" in Math (in the
highest of the three levels you can chooes, which is what I did)
includes Vectors, Complex numbers, integral + differencial mathematics,
and more stuff. In the US, and europe too as far as I know, you don't do
this until late college. It's cool, yeah, but demands a lot of work when
you do it at 17. About 2 hours a day is the max you can squeeze out for
rendering most years, but at the end of each years I happens that you
never see you computer for a whole week. This is for about 3 months.
Anyway, my particular school is (was, I graduated last year) a rather
new school (mine was the third class) and like all new schools founded
as an alternative to rotten old schools, the teachers young, nice,
helpful, idealistic, etc. and although it's a lot of hard work, it's a
pleasent place to study.
That's all for my education speech for now, I think I'll go raytrace.

That is.... you're right.

Really-really simple stuff is allowed ?...

Bah! I'll have just turned 18 when I start college, and Lord knows I could have
skipped seventh grade... but this is America, after all. It's true our schools
lag. Still, I don't think I'd be up to the workload of somewhere like Israel or
Japan.

I agree! Comprehensive at my school is sooo easy (but I'm in a lot of AP and the
magnet program, so I get some good material).
I've had complex numbers and some intro to vectors, but no integral or
differential (at least not in class, but I have a general idea of their
functionality down :-) ). 10th grade.

My school varies quite a bit. My bio teacher is only at her second year of
teaching, my math teacher is kinda old but a great teacher because he used to be a
college professor... and then there's the East building's basement -- a bunch of
ugly old cranky women who teaching English and history... staying couped up in
that dark hallway halfway underground watching History channel all day must get to
them...

In the UK it's quite corrupt when it comes to home schooling. If you've
got loads of money then it's fine to teach your children at hoem (I mean
live in a mansion, have servants and all that kind of thing). If you're
an ordinary family and you decide to tutor your children at home (no
matter what lengths you go to and how much effory you put in), you get
put in prison for not sending your children to school.
One of the worst hypocracies of our so called freedom and democracy.

This is the one thing I hate the most about public schools(and to a
lesser extent, the private school I am now going to). They feel the
curriculum isn't big enough, so they add needless work which wastes time
and teaches nothing.
My Grammar III class is a good example of this...

At least I am not alone in hating English, though my reason is just that
I am not any good at it(especially diagramming sentences...argh!). That
and the sheer repetition of it...year after year after year of the same
stuff.

All anyone has to do to see the sad state of public education in our country
is is watch Jay Leno and his camera crew walk the streets of L.A./Beverly
Hills and ask people simple questions on history and geography.
I'm very happy to be homeschooling my two daughters. I wish more people had
the opportunity to do it.

Wow, you get to study English in English? Instead, we study literature and
half the kids don't know what the difference is between an adjective and an
adverb.
