They weren’t super packed but were larger classes than I have on the eastside
thats a true story
in 10th grade i was set to go on to be top of class
but i got bored of school and bitches
And plus English is my first language which is something that can put me higher on a hiring list
so i just got ged
I did pretty well academically but I was homeschooled for a bit.
same
Upward Bound is a program for high school kids from low income families, families where neither parent has gone to college, and similar stuff. But these kids want to go to college (that’s why it’s called “upward bound”), and so the government pays for us to help them out over the summer to prepare for their next year.
hmm
my school didnt need programs like that
That's neat
they just had enough recources to help people if they wanted it
I believe there was 1 white (non-asian, non-hispanic) kid in the program my two years there.
The rest was about 1/4 asian and 3/4 black.
every teacher was always more than willing to stay hours after school even to help 1 student
what are you guys talking about?
Schools
education
ah cool
@Infinatis I thought about teaching English in China for a semester because my Uni offers it as exchange, but it seems so much more scary than teaching English as a first language
And I was most surprised to find that Upward Bound in Seattle was about 1/2 muslim. But the very fact that these girls were allowed to be in a class taught by a man proves they weren’t extreme muslims.
do you have to know chinese to teach englis in china
apparently not
id imagine to teach a language youd want the first language
exactly
like how the fuck they supposed to know what you say when you say dog
you have no word for them to compare
other than a picture of a bowl of soup
pictures?
They learn some basics and can expand on the basics through your English instruction.
well yeah
but then they get dog confused with soup
Why not both?
i dont thinkits common in all of china
lol
I would never go live in a country without knowing the language
i just go to a therapy school
or at least the basics yeah
also the laws
yep
