Education is equal to power in most ways. The more knowledge a nation has to offer the higher regard it has. The idea of intelligence has always been held to a high standard and people who were said to be the most knowledgeable often had the most power. America is being held to a higher standard while countries like Egypt are being looked down upon. America and all of its groundbreaking discoveries were not solely done by American born citizens. Many of the wonderful things that America has accomplished and used to help their country has been assisted by Egyptian people who have had an Egyptian education. Therefore, how could the Egyptian Education system be under par. The Egyptian and American education systems are generally the same, Egypt has higher level education to offer, and Egyptian people have helped shape the United States into what it is now. The pyramids are not all what Egypt has to offer and it must be recognized for the great minds and artists they have fathered in these most recent years.
In the United States of America, the education system usual
ly goes as follows. First, is preschool, but most Americans do not attend this level first. Next, is Elementary school (Kindergarten through 4th grade) where the alphabet is taught and simple math such as addition and subtraction. Next, is Middle school (5th grade to 8th grade) where more complex math is learned such as long division and multiplication, history, and sciences are taught as well at this stage. Lastly, is High School (9th grade through 2th grade) which is more complex math such as calculus, specific culture oriented history, foreign language, and more complex sciences such as chemistry and biology. In America, the education is not centered around anything. Students are taught information that is believed to set their students up for a higher level of education. Most of the information learned will probably never be used in a persons daily life and the students have no choice, but to learn it. This can lead to students becoming depressed and feeling like they are not capable of being a success because what they are learning is not what interests them.
