Yeah this always drives me crazy. You will often see stories about how successful is the school system of, say, Finland, compared with the USA. Well Finland has about as many school children as the Bronx has, so it's kind of an odd comparison. If you threw in Estonia and Romania and enough other European countries to make an equipopulous comparison, then it would make sense.
