Tench, Re:"education at university" If you take a look at freshmen class at berkeley you will find almost 50% are foreigh students or student who are kids of immigrants. With large asian contingent of chinese, indians etc. I am sure economic reasons are important as well as ego etc. Frankly it is not clear to me that at undergraduate level there is a huge difference between Berkeley and say San Jose State in terms of quality of education. Clearly at post-graduate level there is a huge difference between the two institutions. I grew up and was educated in England and graduated after a 3 year degree at age 21 ( this is standard in UK BTW). And I don't think that UK education at the undergraduate level was at all inferior. As far as grade school education, I probably concur with some of the statements made. I see less of an emphasis here on english and math. But I can only comment as far as 7th grade (thats my oldest boy). As an aside from age 11 I went to school from hours of 8:30 till 5pm. My son gets home at 2:30 pm or so except when he has school activities. Seems to me that another 2-3 hrs of school every day would not hurt him too much !!! regards, Kash
