2 Million Minutes Video

The main difference between the schools in India and China and the schools here in the U.S. is the students. Most of the students here in the U.S. do not completely assert themselves in everything they do. The only way that a child in India or China can get out of the country or move up the ladder is to achieve a higher education. The parents also have a large position in the influence of the children and their work because the parents in other countries tend to push the children more than that of the parents here in the U.S. The culture influences the students decision because if the students do not do well in school, they do not go anywhere in the culture.
I believe that the United States school system is the best system in my opinion. While the other countries school systems are exceptional, the U.S. school system provides more opportunities to vary your interests. With the number of electives and numerous top undergraduate schools for specific majors allow many different students the opportunity to achieve the same degree. The schools in China are strict to the basics and are advanced in all of the basics. China does not provide many different schools for one profession, however, the students tend to specialize in specific areas.

I agree that students in U.S. schools don't completely assert themseleves in everything they do. To achieve you have to do your best in everything that you can and a lot of students over here do not do that. I also agree that parents have a lot to do with pushing their child to do the work and has an impact if whether they do it or not.
