What did you think about what you read?
- Ripley's characters know how to make clear that all their experience are all facts that guide them to their conclusions. Its also very interesting how they present the test and teach us how the test measures our abilities.
Which of the three students do you most relate to? Explain why and how you view this? What was significant to you about this student?
- The experience of Tom, Toms U.S. math classes, everyone used calculators. In Toms classroom in Poland, everyone did math in their head, to the point that it seems like they were fluent in a language he was not. I can relate to this because for myself its hard for me to do a mathematical problem without a calculator if you're used to having one at all times.
What was your opinion of the different types of schools in the three countries?
- All around the world children are learning to make arguments and problems they have never seen before, they're learning to think. Kim as a fifteen year old raises $10,000 so she can move from Oklahoma, to Finland; Eric, eighteen, trades his high-achieving Minnesota suburb for a booming city in South Korea; and Tom, seventeen, leaves Pennsylvania village for Poland.
