I am not smarter than a Nepali 5th grader.
Yup, I said it, and I'm suppose to tutor these kids. I couldn't answer more than half of their science exam. I'm very impressed with the education system here in Kathmandu. I'm also very proud of my boys that recently got their exam results, they're all over 80%. Here are some examples that were on their exams:
What is crystallization? Next question please.
True or False: Vitamin A improves Night Vision. Can I cheat?
Is irrigation important in Nepal? Irrigation...irrigation...what the hell does that mean?
I'd like to share more examples but I'm already embarrassed in front of my boys.
