Fclcully, Curriculum, Clczsses f N 21559 ed During the year, Karen, our Danish ex- change student, has realized the benefits of loving all mankind-yes, even teachers. She has discovered that the student-teacher re- lationships of American schools are much more informal and friendlier than those of her Danish homeland. Karen also finds the curriculum much dif- ferent in America in that we may select most of our own courses. At home, the student selects one branch of study and all subjects in each branch are required. Students who select the same branch are considered one class and remain together in a single room throughout the six school days. Thus, it is the teachers who exchange rooms and not the students as is true at Pontiac.
