>Such system would of over looked someone such as Einstein and he'd spent his life behind a plow. I don't mean to defend the India/China/Vietnam educational system as I don't know much about them. But are you sure Einstein was brought up in the modern American-style system? How did you get the impression that Einstein was an idiot when he was young? Universal geniuses are like diamonds: it doesn't take much for people to discover and cherish. Public education is about educating the mass, the range of people with IQ 90-110. For these people, a good education is a sure-win ticket to $50K a year job.

<Just what does China India and Vietnam teach their children? They teach them if they don't perform at a young age they could very well get pigeon holed holed into a lower quality of education or trade school if they're lucky> The problem is they don't have budget to cover all. The problem here is cut money for bright kids' program but pay more for lazy/dumb students' program. Overthere, if a kid brings a bad grade, he/she gets beaten! Here teacher gets beaten by kid parents. LOL... I don't think we should copy their education models, but I think we should not think more money will make kids better here! I also don't think it is fair to give old and new immigrants the same SS as citizens here who had worked most their life at near min page. What I meant ethics for upper class/politicians here is democracy and fairness. Here if poor kid steal a beaten up care, he gets jailed and big fine. CEO's, ANALysts stole 100M, they pay 1M in fine and still a free man. What is democracy and fairness here? US can not attack any country considered not democratic. Or else we could have attacked Soviet Union, China, Cuba, Eastern Europe, Middle East, Africa, and close to US South America, just a decade ago.
