The same school is recognized for doing a great job with the population of at risk students, which is growing rapidly. Let's all get on warm cocoa, we can worry about high minded stuff like personal growth and accomplishment in the next life... right? Great attitude for an "educational" system. Kids like your daughter are not a problem. Our education system is geared for kids like her and our system does a better job at it than anybody else in the world. If you go to any of the other world class education systems, they all look to us for educating at the upper levels. No other country has the university and graduate level education that exists in the US. I am not in education so I don't really know, but in comparison, I don't think we are comparing apples to apples. Our education system, if anything is too ambitious. We are educating the whole population as if they are going on to get their phd's. Of course we are failing. Nevertheless, for any kid that has the smarts and the ambition, the USA is where they have to be.
