Met two girls from Denmark on the plane to LA. They are 13 and 14 from a rural area. There is a girl and boy younger in the family. English is poor to medium.
They ride bicycles to school. There are about 8 classes each day. Classes are balanced. There is no soda available in school. They pay about $3.50 for lunch each day. Drug use is not much but they can get the stuff. Drinking is not common amongst friends.
I asked them to do some math:
They can add, subtract and multiply. They both had trouble dividing. They could not add fractions. They could not graph a point or solve a one variable equation.
