Alex, a Russian student, is again talking with James Mitchell, an American from Las Vegas, Nevada. This time their conversation is about the education in the USA.
| — Мистер Митчел, какая система образования в Вашей стране? — И какие же это общие черты (элементы)? — Есть ли частные школы в США? — Мистер Митчел, у Вас есть дети? Какую школу они посещают? — Мистер Митчел, а какая разница между "high schools" и "higher schools"? — Мистер Митчел, извините, что перебиваю Вас. А в каких образовательных заведениях можно получить высшее образование? — Спасибо огромное. Очень хочется побывать у вас в стране. | — You see, the US has no national education, system. Instead, each state is responsible for organizing and regulating its own system of education. There are common elements in the separate state systems, however. — Well, formal education is divided into the following stages: elementary, secondary, and higher education. School attendance is compulsory in every state. — The state provides schooling at all stages of education but parents can send their children to private schools. — Oh, Alex. I have a daughter, a nice girl, Chelsea by name. She attends a private school. — A great one. High schools, junior and senior, provide secondary education. Most of them offer both general and vocational courses of study. And higher schools provide higher learning... — Places of higher learning include community and junior colleges, technical institutes, universities, and separate professional schools. — You are welcome! |
