Or how we as a country aren't demanding to make our average schools as competitive as the best in Asian countries, which we need to do, due to the student volume disparity. Even our best schools fall behind some of the best Asian schools in mathematics, for sure." "If we shut our ears to how we can be better, we've closed off one channel to be more competitive. The major ingredient to competitiveness is to foster dialogue and polite criticism or self-criticism. (Though can definitely understand you were simply trying to reduce the impoliteness.)"
