in the USAThe American people believe in the value of education. They believe that all the people must be educated so they can make wise decisions when they vote(选举) and decide public issues(公共事务). Americans also believe that each person should have a chance to get the kind of education that will be best for him.
Most children attend school at the age of five when they enter kindergarten(幼儿园). Children do not really study at this time. They only play for half the day and learn what school is like. The program includes play activities, painting, singing and dancing.
Children attend elementary schools(小学) for the next six years at about 6 years of age. After they finish elementary schools, they go to secondary school for three years and high school for another three years. In most places of the USA, children must attend school until they are sixteen, or until they leave high school, usually at the age of 17 or 18.
