Miss Jackson told a Nelsonville audience that Britain’s high school standards are higher than in the United States. She described Britain’s grammar schools, the admissions test at age 11, and how grammar study equals two years of U.S. college work. She cited grammar school paths to college, cost differences, and travel anecdotes from her 1950s-60s exchanges, noting living costs and lack of flashy British TV adverts.
