If you are a product of both the school system in the USA and the Caribbean, I agree from experience that the USA system has very little understanding of a child that went through a system in the Caribbean. Grade advisors will actually tell you it is not possible for a child to be that brilliant coming out of the Caribbean.

One, they do not understand the grading system, a 60 in the Caribbean probably equates to a B in the USA and they will give a child a failing grade when they transfer. If a child does exceedingly well in their school even if the child comes here and goes into one of the upper grades, they are going to tell you it is from their education.

Don't come to the USA at the age of 14/15 and in your last of high school, that stomps them. It is unbelievable that the Caribbean could produce children at this level.

If the Caribbean community is large enough, and many educators will agree who deals with Caribbean students that their is a need for change on how the system in the USA looks at them and I am sure the same applies to England because their would not be this call for change.
