Is high school in America harder than in the Philippines?
I recently graduated as a high school student in the Philippines but now we will move to America, my mother suggested me to go back in High school again to obtain a scholarship for College when I'll graduate there. The problem is I don't know anything about the educational system in High school in America. Can you please help me? thanks a lot!

Education in the US SUCKS! I passed through High School sleeping through most of it.

It depends on what type of school and what type of teachers you get on whatever school. My high school years where pretty easy because my teachers would only teach you for half the class and the rest just goof off (not everyday). On my school there was like probably 10 white people and like 5 black people and the rest was mexicans (half american and half Mexican or just pure Mexican) where I live I don't see often black people not even on cars nor on the streets. It's just mexicans and mexicans gangsters (there not like outside throwing signs and stuff or walk in packs or whatever.) and white people, oh and my neighbors were Philippines but they move to another house couple of blocks from where we live. We know them (not there mom).

I'm not sure. I had a friend who was from America then moved here. She got mostly A+'s, and A's in America, but when she got here it was mostly like her grades were in the 85% to 87% range. I honestly think it high school in America is a bit easier, but then again it depends on what kind of school you studied in when you were in the Philippines, because there are high schools in America that teach topics that are not touched on in the Philippines. And usually, there are like honors classes and AP classes, that the Philippines doesn't have, and I'm pretty sure that honors and AP classes affect your chances in getting a college scholarship. Anyway, goodluck!
