high school exchange to USA?
I'm going on a high school exchange to America very soon and i'm really nervous. I come from Australia and i will be starting half way through their junior year, and i make friends easily but i'm just nervous that they will all have their friends and i'm going to be a loner. Will i be able to slip in and make friends? and will americans not like me because im australian?

You'll be at least superficially popular, since you'll be new, and everyone will want to know about you, and your cool accent. Try to make friends, and don't steal any boyfriends/girlfriends, and you will do fine.
2 :
check out www.noblefec.com. It provides all information on study abroad, career counselling, entrance exams preparation, visa counselling etc.

They'll be very interested in getting to know you and will love showing you around their world. Just be open and people will definitely gravitate to you to show you around! Our international students are always part of a big net of friends! Good luck!

I've never had any experience with one. I hope they do better than they do on the call centers.
2 :
some are good some are bad, just like all other races of teachers.
3 :
they are really good, especially in science and math. because of their really good knowledge received from overseas, there teaching skills and materials are very good.
4 :
im not racist but indian teachers [mainly men] r really strict and mean they want what they want. my kid had a student tecaher [indian] nad when she would talk back he sent her to look at a closet door
5 :
I've had two Indian teachers and found the accent to be difficult to concentrate around. For me, I had to try VERY hard to "get" the material. They knew they're topics well but it was a barrier with the heavy accents.

Is the theory of relativity normally tought in high schools in USA

1 :
Typically, it is not taught in any serious depth at the high school level, but it is often mentioned in passing fashion; however, there are some very prestigious private schools in which the theory is given serious attention, though still not as much as at the university level. Part of the reason for is this is because few high schools teach the necessary classes for even approaching the theory, such as logic, critical reasoning, and high level physics.
2 :
It is introduced in first year chemistry with more details in second year chemistry and physics. It is not taught in great detail in any of those classes. Second year physics will go deeper into details than any other class.

What do you think of the first Arabic language public school opening in the USA
What do you think of the first Arabic language public school opening in the USA?
http://www.thestar.com/article/252481 In Michigan (Dearborne) they are always looking for bilingual teachers (Arabic/English) for public school but even there they didn't do an all out Arabic school like this....I think time will tell really....keep the comments coming, it's interesting.

I think the great movement for integration is dead in America.
2 :
Then we would have to accommodate every language. I think it should be an option in many standard Public Schools, but I think a school dedicated to it is a little much.
3 :
I think it's great! We already have Spanish, French, German, etc language immersion schools so why not Arab? Brooklyn is the perfect place for the first school.
4 :
I think it's great. But there are some people who are making a big stink about. I plan to go by the school, insha'Allah just to see it whenever I'm in Brooklyn (I live in the Bronx and work in mid town Manhattan).
5 :
I'm not sure. The Semetic languages are rich and wonderful, and Arabic is particularly gorgeous. I'm not a big fan of the "public" educational model, though, so that tempers my thoughts about it.
6 :
I do have to agree that if we have an Arabic language school then every language would want its own school. Not too many years ago California wanted to teach Ebonics which really isn't even a language. I DO believe that classical Arabic should be available for those who want to learn it... if not in high school then at least in college. Where I am it is not even offered and the one time it was, there were not enough students and the course was dropped.

It's a splendid idea! We can have Spanish, French and Italian schools but why not Arabic? Just because as the newspaper states that "almost no one can read Arabic," doesn't mean you can't learn from the start. Besides, having the skill to speak many languages fluently is a great advantage. I can speak three language, Malaysian, English and Arabic. I'm working on Arabic so I can speak it fluently. And guess what? My friend can speak four! He speaks Chinese, Malaysian, Hindu and English! It's an advantage for him, able to speak many languages. Learning is never wrong. We live to learn, learning everyday every single minute you live.

Thanks to ALLAH.........I think that is very interesting and it just shows how much more our educational system is expanding here in the states!!!!!! That's the goodest news I 've had today!!!!!
