Because the families value science, and push their kids in to the sciences, they reap the results of that. We have a society of morons who are afraid of science, and scientists, and the "liberal elites" who will corrupt them if they go to college. All the Asian nations value science- maybe even a little too much, and at the expense of everything else- but they really value education and science. If families here valued education and science, we'd have similar successes with "our" kids. Let's see families pony up for tutoring on Saturdays- the way Asian parents do. Let's see families cut out the sports, and force their kids to study for long hours in the evenings. That's the Asian way.
