> US High School education, for instance, is not well regarded.

I think this is a bit disingenuous. I would say that the US high school system is not equitable. It works just fine for the upper middle class on up. It's the lower class that gets screwed over by the way things are set up.

Yes just try comparing Detroit public schools with that of the suburbs and you'll realize no one can make general statements about how crappy US schools are.

You both realize you're only emphasizing one of the main reasons why the US educations system isn't well regarded?
