There is a program provided by schools that will give you the chance to travel here to the U.S. and study in one of the high schools. I had met a few different people from overseas while in school, never from egypt though. The program should set you up with a family to take care of you while you are here in the States. If your school offers the program then I would most definitly recommend it for you. I've been told that it is a most wonderful experience.

Math: How many days do we have until Global Warming kills us all?
History: Chris Columbus stole 3 boats and killed the real discoverers of the New World. Bill Clinton was the best president ever.
Science: Every disease in the world could be cured within 6 months if the Republicans would allow embryonic stem cell research.
Economics: Communism is cool!
Political Science: Republican platform - decimate the environment and bring back slavery.
Home Economics: Eating animals is MURDER!
PhysEd: All sports co-ed and don't keep score lest someone feels bad

As a high school student, I should be able to answer that question. For me, some classes are Spanish, Theatre, Geometry, Biology, World History I, and Chorus. I have English of course, because it is required as well. I have taken Earth Science and Algebra prior to this year. Some of my friends take World Geography, Oceanography, Photography, ROTC, German, French, Journalism, and Art.
I truly hope this helps your friend.

Pointless non-sense is pretty much what we study in American highschools. I learned most beneficial, and important knowledge that I think everyone should know, from the history channel.
I didn't learn much of anything in school. I didn't even learn anything about the important History of Texas until I moved there, and didn't learn anything about hispanic culture until I dated a hispanic girl. I learn only about basic American history, European and European decendant history. The only thing about Black history I learned was Martin Luther King and Malcom X, and simply slavery knowledge that didn't even graze the surface when black history goes far beyong that.

In American High school you learn more about the history about America and there founding fathers, you begin to learn Calculus in Math,, and continue the consept of learning proper grammer, spelling, story writting ect... In science you learn the periodic table of elements and the basics about physics.

Hello illamoon!
I am guessing you are a Canadian.
In America they study almost the exact same things as in Canada. The only difference I can think of is we use different systems (Canadians use the Metric system).
I hope this helps your Friend!
