Academic Tracking Systems, European vs American Schooling
A comparison of educational tracking systems highlights the differences between the U.S. and the Netherlands. In the 1970s, Dutch students took the "CITO" test in sixth grade to determine their future academic or vocational path. The U.S. system utilized "college prep" tracks and later "Advanced Placement" (AP) courses, which the hosts argue have become a scam for grade inflation.
