| It depends where you live Rebel in my opinion, but having only graduated from high school 2 years ago, I can say that we've mostly been taught only how to pasts standardized tests. But that's another issue.
This is an issue everyone has a strong opinion about. I usually say that the differences are based on income level and location, but I question that after reading this article.
It sounds like it could have something to do with the family support for school at home like devil was getting at, but the other factors don't help of course (the urban distractions, poorly paid teachers, and unreliable "scattered schools").
If that's the case then it's going to be a long-lasting issue, seeing that it's sort of difficult to change a family's encouragement level.
So it goes |
