RE <<<Actually, I have found that this notion is pretty close to the truth. It's generally agreed that American grade schools are not up-to-par with those of other nations. But people from all around the world value a college or graduate education from an American university over anywhere else. And it's not because they want to get a job in America, since there are plenty of international students who go back to their home countries and work there after getting their degrees.>>>

Tench, they value a American degree because first its prestigious in the same way a Harvard or Stanford degree is prestigious in the US. Secondly, these graduates are desirable to employers in their own country because they are Americanized to some degree and can implement American ways of doing business, they are able to do business directly with Americans, and they can do business with their own countrymen. In effect you get three talents for the price of one.

RE <<<However, I can't really think of a reason why this is so.>>>
