The teacher sat her next to me because I speak Polish, assuming I would be able to help her by translating when necessary. Well, the student and I spent the entire class chitchatting because she didn't need me to help her understand the lectures since she had already had 2 years of physics in her Polish high school. I wonder if the schools in Poland are still as rigorous.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-74160282176888245472013-12-04T16:55:10.574-08:002013-12-04T16:55:10.574-08:00Tiger.

But if you just looked at the average, the U.S. would be ranked in the middle of the pack. And in PISA 2009, the U.S. actually edged out Japan for the lead (see here). Of course, not all countries took part in these exams, including China (as a whole) and India."<br /><br />http://www.psychologytoday.com/collections/201312/the-worlds-smartest-people/whats-the-smartest-country-in-the-worldJPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11126071014909954387noreply@blogger.com
