I was over seas in Japan, South America, and the Caribbean doing some research for my masters degree, and I was freaking shocked. Kids in middle school knew more math then some math majors in college. Not to mention that they are damn well behaved in most countries (except japan). In Chile and Brazil I saw most kids in the 8th and 9th grade doing Calculus and they were damn good at it. What the hell is happening in the USA. These are considered Less Developed Countries and yet their kids could beat could out smart our kids any day of the week. I know I am not the only pot head realizing this, so why the hell does the USA not do a damn thing about it?
