Today the students learn difficult courses

I think those children spend more time in studying. However, I prefer children play more.

I notice the same here in our country. Some subjects of high school students were usually taken at college during my time.

I doubt they are smarter! I think they just have to work harder, and they have lesser time for outdoor games. i do not understand the quest for perfection too. Most of the things we learn in schools are not used in real life.

Yes I have noticed kids now a days their homework/assignments/projects are much harder than how I had it in school!!

This is the opposite in the western countries, when I look to the text books they use now in high school I remember that we learned those things when I was a kid.

Perhaps, books & learning mechanism during our time were different.

The same thing happens here. I have a cousin who is several years younger than me. One day she showed me her biology book, and I was very surpriced. She was in the 7th grade at that time, and the things that they learned were much more difficult than the things I learned in the 7th grade. I learned those things in high school.

Sadly, it's the same here. But it's not right, they got to learn by process not advancement. only a few students are gifted enough to advance themselves to another level./

That's what happening today. Long time ago, we studied Calculus when we were already in college. But at present, my daughter had Calculus when she was in grade 6.

The expect the students to work and go to school and still maintain good grades. My sister is in kindergarten learning how to write her name and she came home crying yesterday because the teacher embarrassed her because she didn't know how to subtract three digits. My high school math teacher would teach us out of college math books. They assume that their helping us when in reality the pressure is to much.
