    hm i wonder if state investment in a functioning educational system might have some correlation with a culture that values education? no of course its the damn cell phones.

    like i've been hearing the "china's beating the US in education" fearmongering my whole life, but somehow this never translates to borrowing any policy ideas from them.

      Americans hear, "X country is doing Y way better than we are".

      Their first thought isn't, "How do we replicate this"?

      Their first thought is, "This must be a lie. If it's true we have to find some way to undermine this".
