The document compares elements of the education systems in France, teachers in the United States, and the United States. It notes that France uses a 0 to 20 grading scale for students, teachers are paid by the state, and most schools are public. The United States does not allow discrimination, students take the SAT in high school, and schools provide transportation and lunch. Both countries have differences in college costs and requirements after age 16.
