@halflinks Yes, for now. Most doctors I know are straight from India. They come here to make the money but they India is a rising star in the world economy. I do business internationally and it is embarrassing their kids are smarter. Over in China you are popular if you're the best student in your class, in the States your popular based on your athleticism while the "nerdy" kids get picked on. It is our culture.
Blaming teachers is akin to blaming dentists for kids' cavities! Parents who let their kids eat candy all day and never brush their teeth or floss, should they be blaming the dentist when their kid's teeth are rotten?
Private schools give the illusion of doing a better job, because they test kids prior to registration, and only accept those with high I.Q.s. Furthermore, they do not accept limited-English students or those with learning disabilities.
Ill tell you why US students are falling behind (or what I think it is) is that we are sooo comsumed by Television and Fashion and the "IN" crowd and forget the priorities of life... US is known for the entertainment rather then the important things..
Teachers should get the millions of dollars that Britney Spears or Kobe get... its just not prioritized right ...

College is the most addictive harmful drug on earth... but the government encourages it.

This is really sad. Most teenagers don't even show up for class.
