DarkAngelBGE Posted January 7, 2004 Author Share Posted January 7, 2004 Man, got a test paper back today and it's only a C although I thought it'd be an A. It sucks big time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaas Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 Belgium. Yep sure most education systems give everything, but our system works slightly different compared to the others I know fairly well from abroad (French and Dutch). You have to make a choice of which area you're going to study for, as with most systems. But if you take for example a science area you'll still get a lot of languages, same for the language areas. I did maths-latin but I also had philosophy, history, geography, dutch, english, french, chemics, physics, biology, sports and computer science, for 6 years non stop. My gf did languages-latin and had latin, dutch, german, french, english, spanish, maths, physics, chemics, biology, history, geography, computer science, sports and ethics. The difference with me though was that I had 6 hours of maths a week and she only 2, same for the science stuff.In France or The Netherlands when you choose a certain area you'll see a lot of stuff related to that subject but nothing much of the other things, except maybe for a few years. I don't know how the American system is though, but from a girl who was in my class who did her sixth year of highschool there I heard it was more of a sleeping year instead of a study year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Op Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 In American high schools, we have to take a subject for a variable amount of years like English for 4 years, Foreign Language for 3 years, Electives for 2 years, and ect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 Yes, indeed Black op.Here in the U.S.A you MUST take a certain number on years to pass high school.Like Black op said. For me its 4 years history, math, science, English. (Not listing all of them just as an example)The school I go to only requires 2 years of Foreign Language. I am on my 4th year of Spanish I plan to take one more year. During that time I also plan on going to Germany to learn German. So that when I graduate I will know 4 languages!! ( English, Arabic, Spanish, and German) Cool huh? After high school when I go to a university THEY have requirements also! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaas Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 You know Arabic? That's really awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 Yes, Half fluently. Hehe I don’t know how to read or write but its a GREAT plus it REALLY comes in handy at times! (I can only speak the language that is the only language I know that I cannot read or write in.) I can read and write in English, and Spanish. (and soon german! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUD Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 I started today, again. I hate my Animal Physiology teacher soooo much, she goes so fast that we call her (in Spanish) "motorÃn" which means "little motor", she goes at incredible speed! I copy about 3 full pages in her 50 min class, which is a lot. Oh, did I forget that she is scary ugly, too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkAngelBGE Posted January 21, 2004 Author Share Posted January 21, 2004 Does anybody else agree with Adam, that in school the original thought of learning for life is neglected ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonto_Icy_Tripod Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 Definately. Except I learn what I'm interested in right off the bat normally, and that just sticks. The rest doesn't ever get inside my head though I think the entire concept of grades makes it less of a goal to learn for life. I don't mean that grades should just be taken away, but I'm saying that they actually harm learning in a way as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonRabenold Posted January 24, 2004 Share Posted January 24, 2004 HAHA! I dont have to get up until 10, all my classes are in the afternoon. College Rocks.
