IB is excellent... but I have taught both British and American systems and found the American to be thorough and actually v demanding if a little text book based. I prefer the British system as it's a little more flexible from what I can make out. I can only speak from my own experience in the institutions I have taught in.
Call me biased but I'd rather my kids be taught the British system. Although in the American school the holidays were much longer!!
I don't see any difference. In class 12 or 13 all students have to master calculus which is the same all over the world. During their education they all have to master two languages which are not different from school to school. In other words, students have to learn the same stuff all over the world. How they are taught might be a difference but it won't affect any 'good' students. They learn under any circumstances.
World War Two. Close to the front line, three Allied generals talk about courage. One is Russian, the other is American and the third one is British.
The American general wants to show the others how courageous his men are. He calls a soldier and tells him: “Private, I want you to run across that mine field, jump over two enemy trenches, and come back in 10 minutes!”
“Sir, yes sir!”
The soldier does everything the general asked him and comes back on time. The American general says to the other two: “You see? That is what I call courage!”
The Russian general is eager to show the toughness of the Red Army. He calls a soldier and tells him: “Comrade, you must run across that mine field and jump over no fewer than four enemy trenches, while carrying a box of live grenades. And for the glory of Mother Russia, you must be back in 8 minutes!”
“Da, comrade general!”
This soldier also does everything the general asked him and comes back on time. The Russian general says to the other two: "You see, comrades? That is what I call courage!”
The British general raises an eyebrow and steps in slowly. He calls a soldier and tells him: “Hey, you there! Go and run across that mine field and jump over ten enemy trenches, while carrying a box of grenades in your arms, a timed C4 explosive on your back, and balancing a stick of dynamite on your nose. Oh, and be back in five minutes.”
The soldier replies: “Say what? Are you bloody mad, you stupid fool? I didn’t join the army to listen to braindead idiots like you! Go and do it yourself if you’re so darn clever!”
The British general looks triumphantly at the other two. “Now, gentlemen, this is what I call courage!”

You'd better had gone to Switzerland, heero.

It's for heero's stroppy sarcasm. Or is he stupid?
I didn't think it was American. Arien's response suggested it was. Is Geneva on the moon? What's with the stroppy sarcasm?
