'steryeiotyiping' are usually accurate.
Maybe japanese people are very smart in japan, but I've never noticed it in america.
Chinese girls are much better at taking tests, and in some cases are overall brilliant. Chinese guys, not so much, but still above average (from what I've seen).
You know, I think maybe I should've stayed where I came from. America has one of the worst educations, and from what I've heard what a 8'th grader knows about a subject such as science in another country could get them a Ph.D in America.
Can someone comment on that? I have no idea if that's true, and I really want to know.

It's because of pride that we're slacking in our education. All of the adults (from the lasy gereration) feel like they could be better than everyone else because their kids have more and better stuff. So they started to spoil us a little (some more than others 
), and one way that they made us happier and such, is they gave us less schoolwork. So now we have more stuff, but our IQs are dropping more quickly every generation. Pretty soon, if this keeps up, in 200 years, our IQs will be a fifth of what they were today, and at our age.

stooooop steryeiotyiping guys. I mean I know most immigrants are smart because they are forced to be. I mean what's the point of immigrating when you're going to get bad marks? Its not worth is its wat im saying. Otherwise other immigrants tend to be lazy and not bother with their marks and their parents are so stupid to send them to the states or to canada.

Ameican primary (K-12) education is most certainly the worst among the first world nations. It suffers from greedy politicans slashing education budgets, and then from idiot scientists inventing excuses for the crappiness of our education system. Nothing in American education encourages you to try.
American collgegiate and graduate education, however, is tops. We have the premiere universities in the world, and are a center of higher learned. It's an attestment to the crappiness of our primary education the number of American college students that completed a primary education in another country.

That's because we're too busy trying to make sure that the stupid kids understand everything. To quote Tom Lehrer out of context, we are "not only forbidden to discriminate on the grounds of race, creed, and color, but also on the grounds of ability." Everyone has to spend days reviewing stuff, or even years, because two people don't get it. I go to one of the most difficult high schools in the area because I was so freakin' bored at my old school. Every year was pretty much the last one again. Not now, though. And I still get A's.

Agreed. The schools are too cheap and don't try enough to seperate students based on ability, ruining education for many. I heard that a system that forces schools to really compete and improves the education given in many of the schools, but because of some stupid politicians we don't have that.

Mainly, but as I said in the 'Racial Superiority thread', different people evolved in different parts of the world differently. They have different hair color, different skin color, why not have a bit different intelligence or athletic ability? Anyway, I just said that chinese people are pushed more then others from what I've seen and because of it have a more productive life.

That's interesting. Good to know america is doing something right. The education after high school is probably significantly better then primary education because they force the people to pay. I think the private schools in that respect must also be 'better' then public schools.

It's because colleges are not heavily government-funded. A lot of the money is brought in through tuition fees, and colleges operate like businesses. The better their intellctual reputation is, the more students they bring in, and the more money they make. Therefore, the colleges strive to improve themselves and compete with other colleges. There are people that get so much scholarship money to go to a college, they make a profit going there.

Ok, I just had a test in my Science class, not especially difficult. I got an 85% or so, due to the fact I slept through the lectures on the subject material. My friend takes the same class, but in a different period. 60% of his class FAILED the test. 55% of my class failed it. So, our teacher, out of the kindness of his heart, curves the test. It ends up being about an 18 PERCENT curve, just to prevent all the kids from failing. With simple math, i'm an 103% for the test. He rounds that down to 100%. So, I sleep through the lectures, and get a HUNDRED PERCENT on the test, where's the encouragement to try?

Retarded. It is an interesting word. Define the word retarded in the way you think it means. It really means mentally disabled, but people sometimes use it as physically disabled 
, or just another word for "stupid moron". 
But it also depends on how you are "mentally retarded. Maybe yoy ace math, but bomb french (or whatever language you are taking as your second tongue 
).
