I left school and university with my head packed full of knowledge; enough of it, anyway, to pass all the examinations that were put in my path. As a well-educated man I rather expected my work to be a piece of cake, something at which my intellect would allow me to excel without (undue) effort. It came as something of a shock, therefore, to encounter the world outside for the first time, and to realize that I was ill- equipped, not only for the necessary business of earning a living, but, more importantly, for coping with all the new decisions which came my way, in both life and work.
    I was soon to discover that my mind had been trained to deal with closed problems, whereas most of what I now had to deal with were open- ended problems. “What is the cost of sales?” is a closed problem, one with a right or a wrong answer. “What should we do about it?” is an open problem, one with any number of possible answers, and I had no experience of taking (this type) of decision.
    I had been educated in an individualist culture. My scores were mine. No one else into it, except as competitors in some imagines race. I was on my own in the learning game at school and university. Not so in my work, I soon realized. Being an individual star would not help me there if it was in a failing group. I
had discovered, rather later than most, the necessity of others.
   So much of the content of what I had learned was irrelevant, while the process of learning it had (cultivated) a set of attitudes and behaviors which were directly opposed to what seemed to be needed in real life. Although I had studied philosophy, I hadn’t applied it to myself. It would be nice to think that our schools
today prepare people better for life and for work. The subjects may appear to be a little more relevant, but we are still left to learn about work at work, and about life by living it. I believe we could do more to make sure that the process of education had more in common with the processes of living and working as they
are today, so that the shock of reality is less cruel.

Education was of primary importance to the English colonists and was conducted at home as well as in established schools. Regardless of geographic location or finances, most Americans learned to read and compute numbers. For many, the Bible and the other religicus usually made them good primers. Many families owned one or more of Shakespear’s works, a copy of John Bunyan’s classic “A Pilgrim’s Progress”, and sometimes collections of English literary essays, poems, or historical speeches.

In 1647 the Massachusetts School Law required every town of at least 50 household to maintain a grammar school. The law was the first to mandate public education in America. In the middle colonies at the time, school were often dependent on religious societis, such as the Quakers and other private organizations. In the South, families employed private tutors or relied on the clergy to conduct education. At the outset, most elementary schools were for boy, but schools for girls were establishes in the eighteen century in most cities and large towns. In spite of the informal atmosphere of most American schools, the literacy rate in the colonies of mid-eighteenth century America was equal to or higher than that in most European countries.

Before the American Revolution, nine colleges had been founded, including Harvard, Willia and Mary, Yale; the College of New Jersey ( now Princeton ), Brown, Rutgers, Dartmouth, and King College ( later Columbia University ). By 1720 the natural sciences and modern language were being taught, as well as coures in practical subjects such as machanics and agriculture. At the end of the 18^th century, medical schools were estabished at the College of Philadelphia and at King’s College

How well educated were Americans in comparison to most European coutries ?

A. The same or better

B. much worse

C. far better

D. less or equal
