In the USA

- No choice: do not enjoy school life - Full of stress due to study

- Conventional thinking by memorizing method of education -Become a shy person due to passive classes

- Serious young generation problems such as drugs, pregnancy murder, and so on

Recommended Solutions  What can we learn from American education system? - Teachers encourage students to ask question during the class - Students should have their own time to enjoy some activities - School recommendation has to be more important than an examination

- Parents allow students to work for spending money by themselves

We should get ready to adopt the advantage of American education
