with you 100%!!! I definitely don't like to get into discussions such as these, but, you're right. I know for a fact that public education down in South America is way better for some reason than it is here, for example, what teenagers learn here in H.S. is being taught to grade school kids down there!!! My god daughter who lives in Peru is only 10 years old and is already learning trigonometry and some calculus (she's in a private school though, but nonetheless she's still in the 4th grade).
