5) How does the US compare to other like-minded countries in our education system? What are our strengths and/or weakness?
A: The US is much more lax in their education system compared to most other countries. Discipline is stricter and workloads are heavier in the east often time rolling over into parenting. Parents in the east expect more from their children from education to extracurricular. (http://www.theglobalist.com/storyid.aspx?StoryId=5264) Most children are fluent in at least 2 languages in other countries and are prepared for success. As well public education is funded better and allows for more opportunities for learning for the children. (http://www.britishcouncil.org/usa-education-uk-system-k-12-education.htm)
