Actuallly we American's DON'T have the largest chances when it comes to education. Our education system can't even compare to that of other developed countries such as the UK, Canada, Australia, Japan etc. American students know far less than they should. When a group of Chinese students were asked to name the first 5 US presidents they had no problem. When a group of US students were asked the same question, they were clueless. Many US High School graduates don't even understand what is happening in the own government. They don't understand International relations. They do understand which stars won the latest Emmy awards & what time their favorite shows come  on, and what the scores are for their favorite sports teams. Thei priorities are in the wrong place. Why does Bill Gates, a private citizen have to use his own resources to improve American education when the American government should be doing it? America will not be on top for much longer unless some great improvements are made.

It's the wonderful public "education" system of the USA.\n\n'tis funny no? Actually, no, not at all.

It is not the system, but the respect bestowed on its teachers.  In Britain, teachers/educators are very well respected by the community.  In the US, some view the educators as people who were not good enough to get a regular job and went into teacher.  With this attitude, few that are well suited to be teachers would enter the profession.\n\nIt is not an issue of lowering standards.  The US educational system offers too many choices for its students.  In Europe, in intermediate school, you take exams to determine which field you will go into and your are set/stuck in that path.  In the US, you have too many choices in deciding your future job.

That is simply not a question one can answer without first knowing  which country/state you are focusing on.  If you are interested in the United States, generally only 25 percent of the adult population holds a bachelor's or higher degree.

No, the children in the U.S. are not as educated as in other countries. In many European countries, every student who graduates from secondary school has studied advanced math, chemistry, physics, biology, and can speak, read, write, and understand at least two foreign languages. In the U.S. students can graduate having taken Algebra 1 and Geometry, two years of science, and a year or two of a foreign language - taught from the perspective of "we will never need this, except to graduate from school, so it doesnt matter if we can even say 'where is the toilet' in the language we are studying". It is appaling that the U.S. has such low education standards when they insist they are the most civilized and advanced nation.

The American education system works very well for the US but it lacks something many other countries have. And that is GENERAL KNOWLEDGE. Italian schools for example don't aim much at providing us with a specific school target (as it happens in the US) but the purpose is that of providing each student with the widest possible knowledge, although pointing at specific sectors at university. On top of that, many countries like India, China and Japan have old traditions in family education and lots of philosophy, while in the US superficiality rules. All this gives guys from those countries a higher capacity to look into problems, often with a multilateral approach, that Americans normally don't have. On top of that, Americans educated in the US normally have such a level of specialization that they end up by following only their professional field, rather than gaining a general, wider knowledge, which sooner or later comes useful also at work. This makes US people appear less intelligent than others, even if in actual fact the problem is not the IQ but rather the way they use the same amount of intelligence. Chinese, Japanese, Indians, see much more in depth than Americans, while Americans always go for Easier, Simpler, More Straighforward solutions, which are not always the best solutions. In a word, they are rarely able to work out solutions that are as complex and efficient as those that an Indian, Chinese or others would do. (See war in Iraq for example. It was tackled in such a naive way that the results are before the eyes of the whole world. And those plans were made by the people who are supposed to be the best US have on hand. Even if they did it only for Oil, the plan would still look tremendously naive).

In the UK they have O levels and A levels\n\nI went to an international school that had a similar system to America. They tend to have a high school diploma, graduating high school when you are 17 or 18. Some people also do the Advanced Placement classes, which are first year university courses (as in university in America for the first year, you usually attend a range of general classes before you declare your major in the second year). \n\nA U.S degree, as in a degree from university is the equivalent as the UK's degree at the end of undergraduate degree. \n\nIt is a bit still to say that an O level is the same as a university degree from lets say Harvard university or Yale
