Journal 9 – Are Americans poor educated?


Many my friends, the immigrants, consider that the most Americans are poor educated people. The main argument is that Americans don’t know the world geography. I think that it is the particular and cursory value.
I disagree with this point of view. I don’t have opportunity to know an American schools, exactly.
However, I know that American and European educational systems have different goals. Simplify, we can say that the American education is more practical, however European one more encyclopedically. Personally, I prefer the American philosophy of education.
