How are non-US education systems superior or inferior to US education systems? I heard that Japan actually teaches their students how to draw well, rather than cut and paste construction paper all day.

US education sucks. Did you hear States omitting results from minorities students so that they don't get penalised by the no child left behind act. Also in all tests, European and Asian students trash American students

The US education system is like the Soviet education system... especially with the no child left behind act - only it fails more than the soviet one. At least the Soviet education system took care of their brightest ones... and so the soviets wom many many internation math and science olympiads.

News: education up to high school means nothing
but if you really like to compare
the chinese go to 6 days of school, 2-3 hours longer every day, study history of every major culture, forced to do military standard phys ed practices, and have university material crammed down their throats in high school

China sucks dick, in fact the steppe tribes, the indians, south east asians, malaysians, koreans and japanese invented everything they take for granted. They've been plagiarising for millenia, it's like they apply sun tzu to historical revision instead of embracing truth and openness.

Sounds like what happened with the aztecs, where they took credit for all the good stuff the tribe in the area before them were resposible for.

It's like them damn Americans believing that an American invented the light bulb.
I'm sure that if Aferica had 1/10th of educational system that the US had the people there would be so willing to learn they would be cranking out people like >>11 all the time. Because most people don't have a will to learn (in the US) because they take it for granted that they even have the ability and resources to do it.

You're right, it's usually a bell-curve. The distinction here is that the US is not a bell-curve, it's a vertical line.
Shit, I just wrote a plan to fix Africa of its social problems, but the plan assumes that Africans won't fuck it up. Running farms successfully was the first step.

Scandinavia (especially the danes) has the best idea as to time and length, but they got a boring curriculum.

Fail. Your plan must assume Africans will do everything they can to fuck it.
