Form 3 in Hong Kong (14 y.o.) study calculus & diff. equations. Grade 9 in USA study linear equations. Why?
Students in USA are at least four full years behind. Linear equations are studied in Hong Kong when you're in Primary 5 (10 year old). USA students don't see Calculus until first year of college, and differential equations until the second year, when they are already 19 or 20!

And yet Americans maintain the highest standard of living while that 14 year old kid in Hong Kong goes home every night and lives in dirt and dogshit with the rest of his family. By the way, linear equations arent taught as a curriculum standard in Hong Kong to 10 year olds, my sister teaches there. Maybe you should make sure someone cant call you on your bs next time before you post a ridiculous lie.

I took it in high school....1st yr:geometry,2nd yr:Algebra 2.....3rd yr:Triginometry and analytical geometry....4th yr:AP Calculus. So I don't know where you get your info.....you're wrong.

well studying at high levels are great but imagination is more important than knowledge. Who said that by the way?

Not true. We don't force our children to go to school 10 hrs a day and all summer long. We don't force our children to study another 6 hours after they put in 10 hrs. My 14 year old granddaughter goes to A&M. She takes engineering. Why are you so far behind her in your studies?

I am concerned for my sons education here in the US.

I studied calculus in high school, and I think it may have been offered in Jr High (not sure).
