Let me introduce myself - I'm Exo.
Catherine was very kind to invite me to blog on KTM, the blog I read and comment on quite often. Thanks, Catherine.
I live and teach in Brooklyn, NY. I came to the US 7 years ago -seems like a century now.
Since my education experiences are all pretty fresh in my memory, and I still follow the trends in Russian education system, I will try to provide some insights on the education abroad comparing it to the education in the US public schools.
I am not promising you a lot of official data, rather some personal experience in both systems of education: I went to a soviet grade school (10 years) and graduated from a vet school there, then graduated from a college here, landed a job in a middle school as a science teacher, and my son is in Kindergarten in a public school. ( And, as most parents, I re-teach him at home!)
Truly yours,
Exo
This is VERY exciting -- thank you so much for joining.
ReplyDeleteI'll try to find the essays written by the Russian mathematician concerning math instruction for mathematically inclined children in Russia.
I never got around to posting it, and it's fascinating material.
Welcome Exo,
ReplyDeleteWe look forward to hearing your thoughts on what you observe here.
