Schooling Problems
After seeing the video again, as I saw it last year, I have picked up on new things. Even though the US is beat by China and India in high school, the students still have more success. The kids in the other countries were disappointed because they did not get in where they wanted to, yet in the US, the kids got into where they wanted to for what they wanted. The opportunity is still greater for the US kids because they have a more well rounded social life and then still get where they want to be. I think this shows that the US has more fun while sill meeting the same if not greater success rate as the Chinese or Indians do. They may not think we are as successful but comparatively, I would say we are more successful. We do less and still end up mainly where we want to.

Maybe so, but what happens when the students from the rest of the world become better candidates than American students for admission into American universities? The fear (if that is really the right word) is that your children will be at a competitive disadvantage if changes are not made to the American educational system...
