No, not really. If your job is to compare countries, how else would you do it? Seriously. PS: you know medians exist and those studies account for it, right? Nobody is saying YOUR school is mediocre.

Every country has good and bad parts. That's the point of averages. How else would you compare countries? The study only compares averages and that's all that people are saying. It's totally possible that the best secondary s

When I say it's not a debate, I don't say that to "win a debate". I mean it in a "debating the flat earth hypothesis is not a debate" sense. There's many studies about this, it's not a controversial t

Isn't that the point of a visa? That you're a benefit to society?

Oh come on, every study puts the US in a mediocre position in education within the OECD. That's not a debate.

>>> Most reviewers (and people) don't appreciate color fidelity It's not about "appreciating". It's that it doesn't matter. Everyone talked about retina resolution, then about "true colors".

I'm not sure about this but doesn't paypal charge lots of little fees? For currency conversion, for withdrawal... Their exchange rate is not the best. In comparison, transferwise makes it simpler and straight to your bank account.

Chai and karma aren't specific to react. I remember using them with angular 1.x back in the day.
