I've often wondered why other countries can do so much better for much less money per student than we do. It seems that the answer must not be as easy as spending more per student and/or paying teachers more. There must be some systemic problems with our society and/or school systems that have nothing to do with money. Maybe for some reason parents in other countries do a better job of insisting that their children study and do well in school.
