> Theres 270 million people in poverty in India alone. I don't deny that. Poverty is different from culture, though. By culture I mean so many scientists and engineers, male or female, were household names in China. Are they in the US? By culture I mean teachers work hard to come up with questions that really help students understand fundamental concepts. How many US teachers do that? By the culture I mean this: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8296195/Chinese-girl-seven-study-parents-market-counter-day.html https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8296195/Chinese-gir.... This created national sensation in China. In contrast, did people in the US give a fuck about the average median GPA in Baltimore was 0.6 or something (some people did, of course, but I'm talking about a nation)? Did people give a fuck about physics teacher in grade 8 giving exam questions like "which one is heavier, pound or kilogram"? Did the nation give a fuck about we can't attract enough talents to become teachers? Or in general, did people give a fuck about the issues raised in the documentary Waiting for "Superman"?

"By culture I mean teachers work hard to come up with questions that really help students understand fundamental concepts" This is not a part of the culture in any asian country. There is no culture around teachers working hard to come up with questions that help students understand fundamental concepts. Teachers in the US are struggling from economic situation. They are underpaid, underappreciated, and overworked which leads to poor performance. It is not students and families fault that America is so developed you can get by with lower quality education exceptionally well. The 'culture' , a word you are obsessed with and think is a solution rather than another form of bias, is that you dont need to have brains to be successful in the US. More and more asian people are leaning away from this. In fact look at this data from 2019 in India At undergraduate level the highest number (35.9%) of students are enrolled in arts/humanities/social sciences courses followed by science (16.5%), engineering and technology (13.5%) and commerce (14.1%), the All India Survey of Higher Education (AISHE) report revealed. Hmm...seems just like USA... not everyone in these countries is obsessed with becomining an engineer/doctor/lawyer. You are making conclusions through a small lens of what you see, ie anecdotal
