RE:"Now having said that, I think our post-graduate education is the best in the world, but high schools and below are crap and we need wholesale rethinking of it.

The Chinese and Indians also think our grad schools are the best.
Survey the science and engineering school enrollment and you'll find that at least 50-60% of the grad students are Asian. In some schools much higher than that, eg Berkeley. IBM Research is more than 70% oriental. I understand Johns Hopkins Med School is over 90% Chinese. Then ask yourself why American students don't seem to want to go for a Ph.D. I don't know why, but it's certainly not a tuition problem...
