From Ya Plakal:
I’m studying in London, in Year 10
I’m studying in London, in Year 10. I don’t think there’s any point in carrying on…
Comments from Ya Plakal:
tigfinger:
We see this sort of thing in Year 5 or 6.
By the way, I still remember Econometrics at university
Гранат:
Hm… if this is true, then it’s s**t, mate… In Russia this is like Year 5 or 6?
Shushara: (responding to above)
Yeah, it’s true. I ended up studying in England for a bit. In our Y9 class, we (the Russians) sat and spat on the floor. It was the level of our Y5.
DAN25:
Soviet education in the 60s was recognised as the best in the world. I still can’t understand why we turned away from it.
KingOfICQ:
Why should we believe this is definitely Y10?
Iruska:
What do you mean Year 5-6? I think my son learned this in Y4. I can’t remember about myself. And they still don’t accept our degrees?
phelina:
Question 7 blew my mind. My husband didn’t understand either. Where’s 9 come from?
tigfinger: (responding to above)
They’ve decided that 34 and 54 are one and the same
chechen7600:
My kid solves these in Year 4, I think the author has made a little mistake
авантос:
Judging by the exercises, 12-year-olds study in Y10.
robobobo:
So what do they do up until Y10? Play with dice?
mrsakhnov:
That’s why everything’s fucked there, and fantastic here!
VaultBoy:
I don’t believe it, too stupid for Y10.
tigfinger: (responding to above)
Well, for us, it’s still a bit too stupid, but it’s normal for them. If the education reform carries on as it is doing, then a couple of years from now, it’ll be normal for us too.
Спиридон:
I’ve never studied there, but I’ve seen students’ exercise books. Yeah, seriously, what we learn in Y3-5, they learn in Y8-9. […]
ssmokee:
We’ve got something to aim for… =))))
DarkBerc:
They have serious divisions in their intelligences. Just like we divide kids into A or B or night schools. A Y10 from a prestigious school is already hard at fucking integrals, while a second from a simple school in a poorer area gets these little puzzles.
shama1d:
I have a daughter in Y3 who can solve these.
nikitospound:
This is the last question on the final exam, the hardest question. Find the length of PD.
