First of all, it seems that most public universities in the US are pretty good. You can go there and get a good education if you want it. I went to university in Europe after having done my undergraduate work in the US. I did not feel "behind" in relation to my fellow students there.
The problem is with the American High School. But here is a question for Europeans. What is the class make-up of those going into the Lycee, Liceo, Gymnasium or other roughly equivalent institutions?
Also I dont believe that the US High School has always been this inferior. For those of you in-the-know, what was the turning point?
