good point t.D.A, but i'd argue that China employs the same rought education regimen, and yet their economy is at double-digit growth. An archaic (IMO) education system is the problem. we've always relied on the "help" of westerners in the design of our education system(s). For once the country/continent has to come-up with something better, more original than what we've got for sure.
