Would you send your child to India for a college education?

What I found which shocked me was that most US high schools…even well-off suburban ones were structured in such a way that one could go through all 4 years with writing so little that 5-10 page papers seem “heavy”. There’s a reason why even students at the most elite universities need writing remediation/tutoring from what I’ve observed as an academic tutor and from friends who TA undergrad courses at elite universities…including a few Ivies.

<p>Indeed. What alumni from my D’s high school tell me is that one of the things that distinguishes them from their peers (and many of them are going to very selective universities) is that they are not floored by the prospect of writing 20+ page papers for freshman courses - because they’ve been doing it for three years.</p>
