在讀一本關於教養青少年的書，遇到一些牽涉到美國教育及文化的部分，有點不懂..
1. 美國中學的 A, B, C.. 以及 A+ A-, B+ B- 等等成績，
分別相當於台灣教育的計分方式裡的幾分呢？
（譬如 B- B B+ 分別相當於 80 85 90 嗎？）
2. 在一篇文章裡提到
［director of a drama department at a different high school］，
請問這裡的 drama department 是指戲劇社嗎？（高中應該還沒有戲劇系吧？）
而 director 是指［指導老師］還是［導演］還是...？
3. 文章裡說，
［As early as sixth grade, choosing electives becomes a fraught decision:
Can Alison afford to take a World Languages class,
or it is time to start developing a specialty in French?］
請問這裡的 "afford to take a World Languages class" 是甚麼意思呢？
specialty in French 又是指什麼？
4. ［（父親煩惱兒子：）He has to take a pre-AP course now, in eighth grade,
or he won't be set up to take APs later on.
And without APs on his transcript, he's looking at a state school,
maybe not even the main campus of a state school.］
請問這裡會這樣子寫，是否是因為一般認為州立大學較差？
而 main campus 又是指什麼呢？
5. ［Your son's preoccupation with food fights and barfing is normal.］
網路上查到的 food fights 似乎主要是丟食物那種食物大戰，
但這句後面又加了 barfing，所以 food fights 指的應該是大胃王比賽嗎？
6. ［If he plays a team sport at school, why not move up to a club sport?］
請問 team sport 和 club sport 分別是指什麼呢？
7. ［The curriculum for a three-hundred-level course in Modern American Song.］
請問這裡的 the curriculum for a three-hundred-level course
是指什麼樣子的課程系統呢？
8. 我搞不懂美國教育體系到底是甚麼樣子..
我知道有小學、有middle school、有high school，
請問－－高中
是總共四年嗎？小學和初中分別是幾年呢？所謂的十年級、十一年級又是指什麼？
感謝！！
