Shanghai American School = SAS = Stressed Asian School. That's all you need to know.
Has two campuses, Pudong is in a golf course with legit 0 stores for takeout in the 3k diameter, Puxi right across from a semi-dead mall with crappy entertainment but somehow parents still complain.
Teachers are getting worse, and your GPA really depends on your good luck in getting the right teacher. The school has a good record of sending kids to good colleges but that's more because of the parents than the teachers. But don't worry, if you are like me who has a shitty GPA below a 3.3, be assured that people with GPA lower than you from SAS got into colleges. Like Community College of Detroit.:)
Somehow this group of guys who binges on youtube in class and goes drinking weekly still have a 4.0. Maybe Asian moms.
Students have a weird pride that SAS is better than all the other international schools in Shanghai. They are not wrong.:)

Get the I'm A Real American mug.March 14th. It's American Pi Day because of the way dates are written in in the American style, with the month preceding the day. In countries that write the day preceding the month, Pi Day is more properly celebrated on 22nd of July.
Albert Einstein was born on March 14th. He had to move to America in the 1930s in order to take advantage of it being American Pi Day there.

Get the American Pi Day mug.A basketball league that existed from 1967 through 1976 until eventually merging with the National Basketball Association or NBA. The American Basketball Association is where the three point shot and slam dunk contest began. Dr. J, Moses Malone, Artis Gilmore, Dan Issel and other great players played in the ABA for teams such as the Denver Nuggets, Indiana Pacers, San Antonio Spurs, New York Nets, Kentucky Colonels, Virginia Squires, Utah Stars, Spirits of St. Louis, San Diego Conquistadors, Oakland Oaks and others. The afro hairstyle was very common in the ABA. The ABA used a red, white and blue ball. Teams from the ABA and NBA played several games against each other and the ABA teams usually won those games. The ABA ceased to exist when it merged with the NBA in 1976.
The American Basketball Association was cooler, and featured better basketball, than the NBA and even college basketball.
