    America actually has a pretty good education system

    Top Test Scores From Shanghai Stun Educators

    With China’s debut in international standardized testing, students in Shanghai have surprised experts by outscoring their counterparts in dozens of other countries, in reading as well as in math and science, according to the results of a respected exam.
    First off its unfair to compare a city to a entire country. Secondly the experts who are surprised have no right to be, since no matter what the US does eventually China (as the country develops) will beat them utterly in international comparisons of this kind.

    But the US will still have something to be proud of, Chinese in the US will continue to outperform Chinese in China and this is a testament to there really being something to America besides a mere historic accident of good demographics and a continent ripe for development.

    Immigrants in the US can expect a better education for their children than they could get at home, they just can't expect results comparable to top countries or top ranking populations in the US.

      Obviously there are other factors besides raw IQ going into these results. Otherwise Kazakhstan wouldn't have been beaten by Serbia. And Finland wouldn't have beaten Japan.

      Also only Askenazi Jews are notable for their high IQ, they have large populations of others. Israel's low IQ is mostly the result of the fact that US Askenazis had higher IQs than those in Israel, probably a founder population effect (the smarter ones went to the US). Flynn puts Israeli Askenazi IQ at 103, though I think that is a underestimation.

          Indeed the US has a fine education system. The problem is the students.

                I know quite a few Chinamen that have moved here to take advantage of American education.

                I also know a number of Vietnamese, Japanese, Koreans, and Taiwanese who made the same decision.
