Any number of nations do a better job
of educating their children... Need I go on?



Yes. Japan comes to mind as a nation you might deem to be superior. Of
course, lots more students in Japan commit suicide because of the intense
pressure of the schools, and many students fail completely because of the
excessively high standards for higher education, which is severely rationed
and doled out only to the best of the best, which means that the failures
end up digging ditches because they cannot get a college education...perhaps
because they choked on a single test in high school.

I debate whether they are doing a "better job" of educating their children
when a far higher proportion of them end up dead from the stress, and an
even larger proportion end up excluded from higher education entirely.

It all depends on how you view the overall situation.

OK, let's look at the Westernworld: Finland. Canada.
