There's nothing wrong with American education.
The job of American education is to sedate the masses, while letting the legit geniuses rise to the top (create the next Google, etc.). It is very effective in doing this.

It seems to me that the opportunity afforded to an individual simply by living in the United States is the real driving force behind most successful endeavors like the above, and "geniuses" (I use that very loosely) rise to the top DESPITE our education system.
