I agree that students in China and India would learn more stuff from the high quantities of the curriculums from education system. It is reasonable for one to believe that students in China and India would generally be more intelligent after they get graduated since they learned way much stuff from school in comparison with students who graduated within the same level of education in USA. It does mean that students in China and India are smarter than US students; it is just a statement that trying to say students would have more knowledge and become more competitive to meet today's world demand. In comparison between the United States with China and India, there is a definite difference between the difficulties of the curriculum within the educational system. Even though one would believe that the educational system in US is the complete and the most perfect one in the world; the amount of the curriculum contents students learn are actually a lot less than students in China and India. Many people in the world today would agree that students can learn curriculum with a better quality within USA, and it is a true statement. However, some would argue that students would have a chance to learn way more stuff if they are students and take classes in China and India.

It is reasonable for a lot of people start to wonder why the educational system in US would be less competitive with China and India. It is because students in China and India take way more courses and curriculums than students in USA. The amount of loads of school academic works is way much higher, which means students in China and India would need to spend more time to deal with huge amount of courses and the level of difficulty is much higher as well as in comparison to US students at the same level of the grades. Maybe it is the cultural differences between the countries. USA is more democracy in terms of educational route. It means every student in US would have freedom to determine courses selections while they enter high school. The academic workloads would be way much less as well, because they only have to focus on the related major. However, it is different in China and India, students there would have no choice but to take every single course school system has designed for them to take with. And the academic workloads are way much massive than any student in US can imagine. The time students in China and India need to prepare for a course would be way much than an ordinary student needs to do so, because it is very competitive in China and India.

One other important reason for students in China and India to be more active on studying is because they students would receive severe punishment right away once they fail to achieve certain academic goals, and they punishment could be either physical one or spend a lot of time to write more assignments as a punishment. Students in USA would never worried about he physical punishment because the law protects students from been physically punished, therefore a lot of students would not even care about the academic performances, because they know nothing can ever happen for the foreseeable future. And if a student happens to fail a course in US, all he or she needs to do is to retake the course next semester, and no one would feel pressure about that because the courses are pretty straight simple anyways. Most American students would need to take a part time job since their high school life, so a lot of students do not get good chance to spend enough time to focus on their academic performance. The priority would be different for every student, because some of the students have a better family economy, and some students would need to make their own income in order to make the school tuition paid. Therefore, even if the students in US wish to put more effort into studying, the surrounding environment might not allow them to do so. And it becomes a very common thing for a student to have a part time job during their academic semester. The downside of this thing is that it becomes a great excuse for a student not to attend to a class or a meeting because of their job related duties. For example; a student would likely to miss every single group discussion due to the after school work schedule. Another example critical would be that a student cannot make an available schedule to take the final exam, therefore he or she has to drop the courses due to the unavailability of attending to the exam in order to complete the course. Every students would start to take different courses ever since they get into school, and it means from the time high school started, everyone student would learn different curriculums and start to have differences in terms of academic knowledge. Some students would start to take major specific concentrated courses such as music and math. So the areas of studying would be very different at all. And some students would be lost ever since then, because they have no clue what they are going to become after they get graduated, so they would just pick whatever course they think it sound good. A lot of students do not really care about their future, because they cannot be sure what they are going to do. And one of the important is that a lot of students might not have a clue about the path of the academic they are going through because they do not get enough assistances while they are not so sure about the system and their future.

Some of the
