China is “set up to hit grand slams,” longtime Chinese energy expert David Fishman told Fortune. “The U.S., at best, can get on base.”

A bad joke I recall from middle school was “there’s always an Asian smarter than you” but I think there was something telling about kids thinking that. Clearly, there is some noticeable difference at the very least when comparing to the US. The US takes pride in mediocre scores while maintaining a very broken education system. I guess in that regard, perhaps their average scoring is a miracle in of itself. That doesn’t mean the rest of the world can’t do better but neither does it mean there aren’t dumb people everywhere. Also not trying to justify the very immoral education culture other countries have (which can lead to self harm) but just saying, it’s maybe obvious to see gaps when looking at the US in particular.
There are two parallel and mostly separate school systems in the U.S., public and private
The U.S. public education system is designed to make efficient worker drones
The private education system in the U.S. is so good other highly educated countries send their princes and children of billionaires
Repugnicunts have spent half a century crippling public education while donutcrats waved their fingers and said ‘naughty naughty, don’t do that guise’
Part of that strategy is funneling public school funds and services to private schools, from the children of the populace to the children of the elites
And none of you care, none of you ever bother voting on a local level, the proof is we are here now.
It’s not going to get better and pointing out repugnican hypocrisy only makes them happy that you are powerless to stop them.
