If it makes you feel any better, our country kicks the rest of the world's ass (for the most part) with college. So we have really really smart college kids.

We have 7 of the best 10 universities in the States:

People in the US also spend most time in advanced education:

And as I am learning in my Psychological Testing class, the United State's college student does better/has a higher IQ/scores better on tests than the majority of the world.


So what we lack in Primary and Secondary education, students QUICKLY catch up when they go to college. So, yay!

Problems in Primary and Secondary education both involve poor curriculum, lack of strict testing, lack of enforced standards, No Child Left Behind, problematic financial situations (CPSs), and this bullshit positive stuff we feed kids: "everyone can go to college!"

NO. Some people are just dumb. We need to bring back schools that don't put down jobs in construction and encourage Johnny Low-GPA/IQ/Test Scores to do something he can apply himself in.
