American school system and inequalities
Organization :
For the homework and grades : The Us system requires weekly or even biweekly
readings as well as other assignments such as small or big writing projects,
major research papers and oral presentations.
The grades are based on the
performance of the student on the variety of assignments with a final exam
making up only a percentage of your total grade.
Accommodation : universities provide residence halls in which to live, the
students share a bedroom with at least one person.
How hard it is :
Students work, in general, incredibly hard, they spend long nights studying and
taking multiple extracurriculars activities.
There is not one hour of the day that
the libraries remain unoccupied or the dorm buildings turn fully dark.
They
barely have time to eat and sleep.
Cost :
The cost of education is far from cheap.
Indeed, the average tuition fee for
public institutions is
3000 $ per year while the average fee for private four
year-institutions is around $29,000 per year.
Some private institutions can cost
up to $50, 000 per year.
A major part of this money come from the income and the savings of American
families.
It means that they had to reach into their own pockets to pay for their
child’s education.
That’s why more than half of American families had to borrow
money to pay-off their depts due to their child’s studies.
Families take individual approaches when paying for college, relying on various
sources of funding.
Both parents and students are invested / involved in
decisions about to pay for college but higher education weighs heavily on
American families.
That’s why there is aids available in order to help students who need it.
But only
28% of financial aid come from the American government.
Scholarships = students who deserves it
Grants = depending on the income
But some families depend on scholarships and grants to cover college costs.
Without this aid, many students might not be able to attend college.
We can deduce that college has a deep impact on the future lives of both
parents and students.
