>My favorite effect of this social difference between [most of?] EU versus [most of?] US is that in non-england Europe, paying for private schooling means you're dumb and can't earn good grades without paying for them. In the US few non-private universities are considered truly legit. Ditto in Israel. Small "academic colleges" are second-tier public institutions. Privately-owned colleges are for people who really can't do well on matriculation exams. The best universities are the six big state-owned ones.
