[quote=Anonymous] My dear OP, this has always been a problem in the US. It is one of the developed countries with the least rigorous K-12 curriculum (no textbooks, poorly trained teachers, no respect for the teaching profession). Grad schools, on the other hand, are the best in the world. Education begins at home. You have to talk to your children about current events, show them you love to learn, love to find out about things, love to read. The math curriculum is one to 3 years behind other countries, which is why some parents have their child do Kumon or other math activities. Because there is strong interest in American universities both from American and international students, and because the globalized economy might send your kids to the other side of the world for their jobs, it is important to be able to stay competitive compared to other countries.
