I'm 15 and i go to a high school in australia. i suck at maths, everything to do with maths. i either fail or just get a C or even lower. but i want to go live with a family member who lives in california. but i'm scared that if i do. and i go to school there. will i be the dumbest kid there? because who knows... americans could be smarter then australians.. or they could be less smart? because of the school curriculum. i dont know anything about american schools at all. i heard they are really different from austrailian high schools. someone from america please help?

I am an American and attended University there, and I found that Australian schools were more difficult that American schools, however that might just be the University I attended (University of Queensland). It seems to me that Australian schools are very dependent upon examinations whereas American schools provide opportunities for all kinds of learners to succeed. I think you'll do just fine if you transfer to an American school; you most definitely won't be the dumbest kid here. You can't really generalize one nationality being smarter than another because both Australian culture as well as American culture is made up of so many different people and value so many different things that intelligence varies among all people.
