1.Are public schools in the States all overburdened with strict guidelines?


2.There are 3 different types of eduction in high school tailored to your abilities based on an affinity test at the end of elementary school. There is a standardized test to graduate from high school, but that only makes up half your final grade. The other half is filled in by the school.

1. Yes. And on top of that there is the teachers union which makes it hard to get rid of bad teachers or too even identify them. Bassically kids are taught to pass standardized tests that are given to all kids across the nation (as far as i know)

2. Everyone recieves the same education regardless of abilities. I think that is the biggest problem.
