How can their THIRD WORLD educational system be working BETTER than ours ???....Just wondering......... ( THIS IS NOT AIMED AT SWRINFLA)............why WE generally think other countries are NOT up to PAR with the U.S.A.....when in FACT we are the laggards ...I REALLY would like to know why the USA is so LACKING in MATH and SCIENCE and LITERACY rates....while WE spend WAY MORE $$$$$ per pupil on EDUCATION...........Any body know the answer???????????.......ANYBODY.......( I too like COSTA RICA ...and especially the warmness of the locals)
