Chapter 4: The Sweating Ballroom

Sitting in the classroom, listening to the teacher above talking, Mike was stunned the whole time, and he could only be confused, because this was a math class. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In fact, Mike now has an urge to sneak out those people in his previous life who said that the American curriculum was simpler than China's, one by one, and beat them up.

Simple hell, huh? The parametric equation TM is also a science thing in China, okay? And in Mike's previous life, even as a liberal arts student, he could only pass the passing line in mathematics, and learning this thing is really no different from listening to heavenly books.

This can only be said that those who said that the American curriculum is simpler than that of China in the previous life simply did not understand the American curriculum at all.

For example, the most representative mathematics, many people will say that the mathematics curriculum in American junior high schools is only equivalent to the level of Chinese elementary schools, and the mathematics of high schools is only equivalent to the level of Chinese junior high schools.

In fact, it is not the case at all, it is just an illusion created by the American education model.

The American education model is to give students the most basic education in the subjects they don't love, and at the same time provide students with higher level of development conditions for the subjects they love.

What does that mean?

That is, you don't like to study math? It doesn't matter, as long as you can pass our minimum requirements, you don't have to continue studying. And if you have a very good math score, and you have completed all of your secondary school level, you don't find it challenging, and it doesn't matter, we can provide you with AP courses...... That is, Advanced Placement courses.

The same is true for some other compulsory subjects.

Therefore, although the subject difficulty of American high schools is not lower than that of China, it is still very easy to pass the minimum requirements because it is a credit system (usual points + homework points + test scores).

In China, it's actually similar, if you want to graduate from high school, it's very simple, as long as you pass the entrance examination, it doesn't matter if you don't learn higher-level knowledge, it's just the college entrance examination that is difficult.

Therefore, the learning level of many Americans does not represent the level of high school curriculum in the United States.

In fact, 99% of students in the United States are only at a level where they can barely take care of themselves.

So not only the current Mike, but even the original Mike, as well as many students in the classroom, are actually listening to books in math class.

Finally got through to the end of class, Mike finally breathed a sigh of relief, ready to put away his textbooks to eat, but as soon as he opened the storage cabinet, he was slapped on the shoulder, if it weren't for the fact that this was at school, Mike almost gave this reckless guy an over-the-shoulder fall, and when he looked back, it was a tall brown-haired boy who looked very familiar.

"Hey Mike, why didn't you come to me after being discharged from the hospital for so long" the boy said with a smile as he looked at Mike.

"Uh...... Are you ......" Because of the residual memory, Mike felt that the thing in front of him was very familiar, but he just couldn't remember his name.

"I'm Jerry, Jerry Drissy, you're not going to forget all your old friends, are you?" The boy couldn't help frowning when he saw this, obviously a little unhappy.

Hearing the boy say this, Mike immediately remembered.

The thing in front of him, that is, Jerry is a friend who is close to his ex, but he also belongs to the category of fox friends and dog friends, one level older than Mike, but three years older than Mike...... That's right, this is a repeater who has been staying for two years.

Although the requirements for high school graduation in the United States are very low, there are still requirements after all, and this product belongs to students who always can't pass even the minimum requirements, and this type of student has only two options, drop out...... Although the United States implements 12 years of compulsory education, it is natural for students like this to drop out of school if they can't even pass the minimum requirements...... Of course, the vast majority of people who have the conditions will not do this.

And the other is to repeat a grade, or rebuild, and this Jerry is a product that has been rebuilt for two years.

"Oh sorry, Jerry, you know, I was in a car accident and forgot a lot of things, so I didn't remember it for a while," Mike patted his head and said apologetically.

"Oh, that's a shame, but it's okay, I'll get better in the future" Jerry's face was relieved when he heard this.

Although he is a repeater and his work is a little unreliable, on the whole, this person is still good, and Mike has no idea of rejecting people thousands of miles away.

After all, if you want to talk about bad, Mike in his previous life is the real bad guy...... As an arms broker, it is inevitable that your hands will be stained with the blood of innocents.

So Mike never thought he was entitled to despise these kids who were just a little out of line...... For him, whose mental age is nearly 40 years old, these teenagers, who are no more than 17-8 years old, are some children.

"By the way, do you have anything to do with me?" Mike was a little curious about what this guy was looking for him.

"AH, OF COURSE, I'M HERE TO TELL YOU THAT IN ORDER TO CELEBRATE YOUR DISCHARGE FROM THE HOSPITAL, I DECIDED WITH EDIPONA AND THE OTHERS TO INVITE YOU TO THE NEW SWEAT DANCE HALL IN TOWN TONIGHT, HOW ABOUT A HAPPY ONE? Do you have time? Jerry said, coming back to his senses.

"Sweaty ballroom?" Mike was stunned for a moment, as if he remembered something.

In his last life, when Mike watched the TV series Growing Up Troubles, he was still 15-6 years old, and it has been nearly 20 years since he was blown up, so I can't remember a lot of the content for a long time.

But there are still a lot of impressions, he remembers that once Mike was invited to the dance hall, but because his friend was too drunk to drive, he could only let him drive, and because he had not learned to drive, he drove directly into the police car...... Then he went into the class room, and was finally taken home by his parents, where he was confined for several months.

Is this the time?

Yes, among his friends, only Jerry, who is unreliable, has a car, while others, such as his two best friends, Jerry's Bonner and Eddie, are the same age as Mike, only 15 years old, and the American driver's license is only 16 years old.

Thinking of this, Mike couldn't help but want to say no, but after thinking about it, it's not right.

Originally, Mike would hit the police car, and that was because he couldn't drive at all, but now he can.

Now Mike, don't talk about driving, he can drive tanks and helicopters.

And Mike, who has been in and out of various nightclubs in his previous life, is also very interested in seeing what nightclubs in New York were like in the 80s.

"Of course there's time, but you know, I'll have to ask first" Mike hesitated for a moment, then agreed, he figured that based on his recent performances, Jason and Maggie should agree.

"Oh, that's great, give me a call and I'll pick you up" Jerry happily patted Mike on the shoulder.

"Thank you then," Mike said goodbye to Jerry with a smile as well.

As Mike expected, because his recent performance has far exceeded Jason and Maggie's imagination, so after Mike's assurance, the couple still agreed to let him go to the "sweating dance hall...... However, I had to go home by 12 o'clock.

Of course, Mike has no problem with this, he just wants to see and relax a little.

However, things are often so unexpected.
