Well, I suppose to a degree they were behind. The system is just completely different. I went to a private school and took mostly honours and AP classes and I'd say they were at least pretty close to the level in Germany (though I did go a year higher in the US, so I guess it might be a year difference). In Germany we hav three different school forms, lowest to highest (in intensity) and in the US you just put it all together, so you'll have the best students with the worst, which I guess it mitigated by choosing your classes, like...woodworking...or bowling...Dr. Pepper
Not always. Most public schools have classes that separate the students based on their capabilities, like AP classes. My school was a public school and consisted of only "above average" students.
But that's high school, in lower level schooling there's no differentiation, which I think stagnates most students.

I think so, too. I am in favour of segregated schools (remember, we Germans may have done some bad shit, but that doesn't mean to us what it means to you) based on ability. As long as the there is mobility between these sets and there is good schooling done for everyone.
Looking back, I would have done the homeschool thing and gone to college, early. I've said it more than once, but even an average person can work 3-4 years ahead of a public school while in homeschool and still cover the same materials WHILE also working on advanced stuff.
Just think, by the time they reach 18, most people could have a B.S. degree. They would already be used to "the grind" of long hours from homeschool.

I agree really, I feel like the stuff I have to do for school I could really do in maybe 2 months rather than the year they want me to take.
I'd rather have the studying and degrees separated so that you could just go apply for testing and get the degree when you feel you are able to pass.

I also agree to all of that.
I'd say that the school work given could be done in a month rather than 2 months. Of coures, you'd be doing schoolwork 5 days, 8 hours a day, for those 4 weeks.

I find it difficult to understand your mindset of how that would place you above us.
I dunno, i never said i'm above you. But i don't spend as much time online as i did before (except this summer, I guess)? that's a start..?
bah, i've accepted my lot.

in other news, I only have a year till I graduate, thank God. -_- a little young, but that's fine - I'm still going to medschool anyway, and that would add significant years.
