Still working with Australian clients who have better education than in America

I do not want to believe that Australian education is the best in the world in terms of quality, however, from my constant contact with Australian students I have to confess that Australian Education if far better compared to American. Besides, the students are very much aware of what they want. Even though I had problems while working on their orders initially, I have to confess that after sometime, through being exposed to their papers my skills improved. Big up, Australia

"Thanks for being the test market for my English skills, Oz! Whoop whoop! (My English is still terrible)."

Ridiculous!

There are better ways to learn the language than to trash a bunch of term-papers in it, chump.

We are in an English competition. Thanks,

I've written a couple of essays for a few Australian clients, and the quality of education in that country is quite impressive. Sames goes for the quality of education in UK schools. In fact, I'd rate the quality of American education lower than that of the UK - based on evidence from the tasks I've handled on behalf of students in both countries.

I usually charge slightly higher fees for Australian and UK papers than I do for American assignments in the same category because the former typically entail more rigour and effort.

If you ask me, charging more for UK/Aus papers is about exchange rate, not quality of education. Education is ****** everywhere, but in some places, it's better than others. Oz has its share of prestigious and ridiculous schools, just like the US and UK. Just because they have different holy grails (careerism vs. formalism) does not make one system better than another.

Education is also about a lot more than writing term-papers. Where are you from?

Overcoming barriers and challenges to obtain a solid education are the kinds of things that make education a precious commodity in my family.

I was born in Gambia, on the West Africa coast, where despite all its beauty, the country is burdened with poverty and little hope of a solid education. Seeing this, my parents decided to move our family from the coastal country to Sweden, where we all had a better chance at obtaining educational tools and where my parents could find work to support our growing family.

Facing this challenge was difficult, as the culture, language, landscape and values are very different in Sweden than in Africa. However, we learned to thrive in this country, and the unique challenges of immigration made each of us stronger and more educated. Bi-lingual at an early age, the gift of languages came naturally to me, and I currently speak five different languages.

Moving from Sweden to the US when I was only 19, my parents gave me the encouragement I needed to accept this challenge and overcome, yet again, the cultural changes and the language barriers I knew I would face when I arrived here.

It was difficult to assimilate at first - to get housing, a job, attend class, support myself and do all the things I had to do without the backing of my family and the support of friends. It was demanding and it was lonely - but I persisted, because I knew this was what I had to do to get the education that I so desired. Soon, I made friends and was able to get a job, and as my confidence grew, I became active in the student body and made myself an asset to the program I attended.

My unique multi-cultural life has lead me to be an open minded and adaptable person. I am also very willing to share my personal understanding of the world around me, and will offer my knowledge to assist others in the school. The experiences I have had have made me not only a stronger individual, but also someone who truly understand the sacrifices made for education and the value therein.

The only part of Australian and UK education programs to which I've had any exposure has been their written assignments. Every assignment that I've taken from a student in an Australian or UK program has been more demanding in just about every aspect, from the way it was framed initially to the requirements and grading criteria. Written assignments that are good for a solid B in the U.S. might barely pass in Australian programs, and work that's typically an easy A here earns nothing close to that without a lot of improvement. That's why I always err on the safe side taking on their work in the first place and that's the only reason that I do charge more for both Australian and British programs if I take the work. They both typically require much more time and effort for topics that I can ordinarily write for U.S. clients easily and with very good results based on their feedback and gratitude.

UK papers do take more time, but they also require less free-thinking and creativity. Did you notice?

Time involved is the principal determinant of my price. Free thinking and creativity come easily enough to me that I don't charge extra for it; in fact, the more free thinking and creativity a project emphasizes or encourages the less I'm likely to charge.

Haha, I'm sure. That really speaks to how you value yourself.

Australia and the UK have a better educational system than America because they are actually focused on educating their students instead of using the educational system and its students as political and social leverage. They actually want their students to learn and improve their lives, be a benefit to society, which is less than I can say for the US educational system these days. While there are public and private schools in the UK and Australia, their educational standards are almost equal, with very little, negligible differences included. If I had a choice, I would definitely send my kids to Australia or the UK to study starting from the foundational level.

I have to agree that the American educational system is really fast becoming one of the worst in the world. What with some states requiring that teachers teach in 2 languages, Spanish and English, at all times, and the weaponization of the educational system, America is not producing students of even the lowest quality these days. Their colleges and universities of note have turned into nothing but legacy diploma mills at this point, allowing the rich to continue to breeze through their education, without having learned a thing. America is no longer running an educational system that can produce future national and world leaders. Australia? Well, their educational system is also getting messed up these days. It is just a matter of time before they follow in the footsteps of America.

The American approach to college education has been flawed for decades, because, starting about 50 years ago, getting a college diploma (in anything) became viewed as a necessity, irrespective of whether or not students actually have any real interest in any field that specifically requires a degree. That's why so many kids enter college with absolutely no idea what they want to study and why they end up with degrees that are all but useless to them, since very few Sociology or History or Philosophy majors ever become sociologists, historians, or philosophers. They don't really have much of a choice, either, because, nowadays, they probably can't even compete for entry-level positions in retail sales (for just one example) without a college degree if all of the other applicants for the same position are college graduates.
