Swedish - German - English

Our Swedish boarder said
"our class (class eleven = seventeen years old) in England is like class seven."

The class she is in now is an immature group. They don't listen to the teachers seriously, often they are not really engaged in the lessons. They are noisy and she feels that her English classmates behave like a group of thirteen-year-old Swedish kids.

One of her friends from Sweden is now studying in Germany. He said,
"German class eleven pupils behave like class nine."

So...
If Swedish class 11 kids have the quality of 17 years old,
German class 11 kids have the one of 15 years old,
and English class 11 kids are like 13 years old.

ummmmmmmm.

I feel English pupils are quite immature, compare to Japanese, Germans, or Americans. Whenever German pupils are coming to our school as international students, their high standard surprises us. They have the positive attitude towards the work, and really work to achieve 120% of what they are told to do.

I don't think it is because those international students are only selected goody-goodies. Our pupils who went to Germany to study have been inspired by the German pupils' general attitude. Germans have the will to work hard.

But ... do Swedish have higher standard than Germans???



My boarder says,
"teachers here are much better than our school in Sweden."
She says that the teachers in our school are very supportive and the lessons have better quality.


So..., our school seems to be giving better education to our children than her school in Sweden. But the result is class eleven kids with class seven quality...???


ummmmmmm


What is wrong with us???
What is good education????
What is a good teacher?????
