I didn't know where to comment, so I started at the beginning. I agree with you that our system is “not so bad”. Once concept that seems to get lost in the minutia of test scores and time spent in class is how we educate our children. In addition to teaching the three R’s, America seems to do a pretty good job of teaching kids how to think, explore, question and problem solve. Not all of life’s problems are conquered by wrote memorization of facts and formulas.
