Texas sure is a country in a country! They've always said that too. Remember the Alamo! Our kids were educated primarily by tutors we hired after school, although going to public school was an important part of socializing for them and I'm amazed at how many other millennials my kids know in this fairly large city (we run into them on the streets and clubs). In China, they made it illegal to hire tutors as it helps the rich. There could be some hope for the US and our silly crap if China puts so many constraints on the smart who learn the system AND have the brain power to do well in it. Also, many of my neighbors are wealthy families from China who come here to have kids educated. They hire MANY tutors to help with everything from English to music, math and science. Some (of all races as we are fairly diverse) work their kids so hard to fit in with so many kids with parents with 6 sigma genetics that the kids jump in front of trains... so they've hired guards to watch the tracks at road crossings in Palo Alto.
