There are many good students, however there are a lot of disrespectful, undisciplined punks. They are not well disciplined. Principles, school boards, and parents are to blame, but they like to blame teachers. These children fear nothing.
2 :
As with anything else, it depends on the individual student, as well as the particular school. My son attended schools which had very little difficulty with discipline; others aren't so lucky. With that being said, I can add one thing; I think US public schools do our children a HUGE disservice by not teaching subjects which explain our place in the world. They have almost zero education in geography of either our own country or the world at large. There is little study of current state, national, or world events. Students fail to learn standard English, to read a complex paragraph, or write a coherent sentence. Just Google video of "dumb Americans"; even Harvard professors don't know where Saskatchewan is! Our idiot president can't keep "Austria" and "Australia" separate in his own mind, nor "APEC" and "OPEC". Neither can he pronounce "nuclear" properly, and he went to YALE!! Sick.

How I do Know which school (elem/Middle/High) my kid should go to
How I do Know which school (elem/Middle/High) my kid should go to?
We are searching for a new home and I found it difficult to understand which schools a street address is zoned to. Is there a website, where I can just punch in the street address and it tells me the elem,middle, high school where my kid should attend ? I found that some school district websites have these information, but they are limited only to that school district. I think, what I am looking for is a site that should give information for all (or most) of the schools in USA or for me, atelast in TX.

Have your real estate agent do that work for you. Also, check for schools with low class sizes and high test scores.

It usually says the school district on the info sheet for the house. Check with your realator.

Path to getting to medical school in USA
Path to getting to medical school in USA?
Let's say I want to become a pediatric oncologist in the USA. I did my IGCSE, and will soon do IB(International Baccalaureate). I heard IB is very prestigue, and i will get everywhere where i want thoughout the world if i get good results. Does it mean I don't have to do SATs when i have IB? Also, I dont really understand going to college before medical school. If i done IB, and i am well prepared, whats the point. Do i have to? Can't i just do the exams that i need to do and go? Also, what's next. Thanks.

Even if you do IB, many schools still require the SAT/ACT (but don't weigh it as heavily as they did in the late 90s). Unlike the UK and places like South Africa and Australia, the US, Canada, Japan and Taiwan etc require you to have a bachelors degree before you can enter medical school. So just because you don't understand why you should go to college is irrelevant because it is mandatory for admissions to medical school in the US. It does not matter what you major in in college so long as you meet all the prerequisites for medical school admissions (ie: necessary math, biology, chemistry courses). You will have to have a bachelors degree and take the MCAT exam. Good luck

Each school in the US has it's own requirements, there is no national standard for which tests can be used for admissions. In the US, Canada, and a few other places, you have to have a bachelor's degree to be admitted into Medical school. Getting your bachelor's degree in the same country that you want to attend medical school will increase your chances for admissions. In other places, Medical School begins with basic coursework in biology, chemistry, etc. In the US, Medical School skips the basics, assuming that you've covered that in your pre-med classes, and begins right with advanced Medical Subject Area work. Unless you've taken college level Biology and Chemistry you are in no way prepared for US Medical School.

Is that true that students at American public high school in USA use drugs
Is that true that students at American public high school in USA use drugs?
I heard the story a long time ago, and have believed until now. I heard the drugs is illegal in our country, but not in the USA. It may be a marijuana, or something like that. Actually, I do not distinguish any illegal drug's name and have no knowledge of it. However, I have considered it that provided it was a true story, none of their parents do not want their children attend the school because it seems not going to learn things, but going to play with or use drugs. It is very dangerous! It means even the public school fee is free, only a few students attend to it. I wish anybody answers who attended or attend a public school in the USA.

What are you saying? if the question is (is it okay to use drugs in schools) it is not. Drugs like marijuana are illegal in the USA, however that does not stop people from using them. There is a drug problem in some schools across the nation, however it is still illegal.
2 :
Most children in the USA go to public school. Some (usually older students) experiment with drugs just as they experiment with sex. In the USA Marijuana is used by a lot of older students ages 15-18 usually. Marijuana IS illegal in the USA but in some areas of the country it is becoming legal for several reasons. Some students also experiment with other more powerful drugs such as cocaine (White powder), mushrooms, and acid.
3 :
I went to public schools and have never used drugs. So did my sister. So did most of my friends. It's just like any other school... some kids use drugs and some don't (and the ones who do usually are not stupid enough to do so on school grounds). The vast majority of students in the US attend public school, regardless. Private schools are expensive, and most of them are hard to get into (mostly because they have a limited number of openings)... and since education is a legal requirement for minors in this country, public school or home schooling is the only option available to 90% of the population.

Sadly it is true. I have stumble upon a student, a classmate of mine, who is sophomore, and was high because he smoke weed. Sometimes, you are able to smell them or find them lying on the floor. You will also find some smoking or doing drugs in the restroom, disregard of age. However, not all does it. Some do, some dont. It is just the choice to do it or not.4C
5 :
Most high school students, whether in the U.S. or Canada, will experiment with drugs at some point. I don't think it's a problem isolated to American high schools, but the thing to remember is that it's a small percentage of students who continue to use illegal drugs, and end up hooked for life. The majority may use drugs a time or two, then decide that it's not for them.
