American Education

28/July/2010
I learned about American Education. There are some differences between America and Japan. First of all, American has three Education styles, home school, private school and charter school. Second, in America choices are given to parents, and the choice is based on the perceived need of the children. Third, students don't have to pay the fare to use school bus. Fourth, American private school expenses are more expensive than Japanese private school expenses. A student who go to Bethel university should pay 28,000 dollars in a year. Finally, there is no examination to enter a university, but students should receive SAT or ACT test while they are high school students.
There are some reasons why many studens want to go to private school. First, private school is very safely. Second, students can receive high education at there. Finally, student's parents want their children to not drink alcoholic drinks and to not smoke.
I was very surprised by these truthes. Today's class was very useful for me . I was happy to learn about American education.
When I came home, my host's father took me to the home depot. There is a lot of huge items, and these are cheaper than Japanese items. ( 209words )
