Comparing schools in UK/USA and CR

· the biggest difference between our and British school system is, that pupils in CR after 9 years of compulsury education can enter the high school for 4 years and in UK after 11 years of compulsury education they take only 2 years of ‘A’ levels – I think that someone who wants to enrol at a university is much better prepared from the 4-years high school than from 2-years ‘A’ levels
· in CR the better and worse students are together only for 9 years and than they separate, but in UK they have to be mixed for 11 years – I think that the good students must suffer
· children in UK enter the school at the age or 5 and in CR at the age of 6 or 7; I think in this point our system is better, because when children are 5, they are still too young to pay attention and they get quickly tired – that’s why they don’t like going to schools
· the British system is better in the length of compulsory education – during 11 years the pupils learn more than during 9 years
· on the contrary to the USA, students in CR don’t take only written tests, but also oral exams – it is good for expressing; Czech students also learn more theory than make experiments; it has advantages and of course disadvantages too, but basicly I think we are better prepared for studies on the university
