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

chinese laws a fucked

I wouldn’t want to live in china in the first place, knowing the language or not

Even the traveling somewhere without knowing the language scares me

I almost want to do this now just to see how quickly it becomes fucked

yeah everything you could get from china, you get from japan better

id rather go to japan
