This is easy. That is because they have better schools. If the schools here teach math better, there will be no need for Kumon. [/quote]

Do they have better schools?  What does it mean to be "better"?  Like rote memory learning is better?  Better like the government pays for *everything*, even college?  Then yea, European schools are better.  Better like kids are better behaved so they don't have as much disciplinary problems so the teachers can actually spend the time teaching rather than focusing on disciplining, so they are able to cover more material?  Then yea, there's is better.  So many different definitions of "better".[/quote]
Yes, Europeans generally have better schools. They are safer, they have healthier lunches, they have more discipline, and their graduates have more knowledge and skills.  And the college education is free too for the most part.  So I'd say they are better all around.  When my brother went to school in Germany my dad did none of the things I have to do for my child - no packing lunches, no driving a kid to school, no additional math at home, and no saving for college.
