Education
America has the top quality of education and the highest reputation of its Universities. According to prominent international rankings, 13 or 15 American colleges and universities are ranked among the top 20 in the world like Harvard University, Stanford university and Columbia University.
- Children are required to attend school from the age of six or seven. (Kindergarten, or First Grade)
- Students finish the 12th Grade or high school usually at the age of 18.
- Children do not have much homework to do, so they could have more activities after class.
- Students would not feel stressful about their classes until high school.
- Because some of the students want to go to some top ranking universities or colleges, they need to work hard on SAT, so they are under much stress of study.
- There are usually 5 classes a day in high school.
- Courses in Universities are usually harder.
