77 percent is hardly anything to write home about, but in her case, that is tops in my book.

The educational system in India is thankfully not liberal yet. Marks are very hard to come by and 77 percent is very very good. The high school educational system in the USA passes everyone and you have to really want to fail. In India the competition is brutal and a high school graduate in India from a good school is better academically educated than most sophomore college students in America. I finished high school and college in India and grad school in the USA and it was literally a breeze to get my degree here.

I am in no way bashing the USA, just putting the 77 percent in perspective. The college system in the USA is the best in the world and gives you the most well rounded education. However the public school system is a total disaster and the liberals have completely co-opted it for social engineering. Ever wonder why so many Indians do well in America; it is because they went to high school in India and were grounded in competition and reality while high school students were being fed liberal gobblydegook and standard are lowered so as not to hurt kid's feelings. I am staunchly pro-American and believe that this is the greatest nation on earth and it pains my heart to see the liberals destroying kid's by indoctrination in schools.
