" Nevertheless, for any kid that has the smarts and the ambition, the USA is where they have to be." Much as I love the education system here, there are systems that are just as good in other countries for the bright kids. There are few systems as good for dullards, though. In the US there is no tracking- as there is in other countries- so a misstep at the lower levels, or being of the wrong "class", doesn't immeiately get you shunted into an alternative trade school system. That's a tremendous difference between the US system and other systems. I happen to think we ought to offer more trade school type opportunities- but I think having the system label the students and assign them to the various systems if highly problematic.
