Anyway, doesnt the US goverment have a ministry of education which can tell thse guys to go to hell in the name of quality education? I really dont know how it works there, if you cant control them in some way you are risking leaving part of your country lagging behind the rest of the states.

We are well covered there. We have a federal education system that makes sure all states equally fall behind the rest of the world at a constant rate.

Well, you still have great universities.

Here in my country private schools blow away public education, there is a test(actually 3, math, language and science in which you can choose social studies or phisics/biology/chemestry) people take after they finish 12th grade and that defines which universities you can get in(priority), the thing is there is a huge difference between scores, like more than a hundred points in a 850 point test, and not only that, the top 100 schools are in the mayority private schools with the exception of high quality public ones that select their students from other public schools based on good results.

Education here is good on the south american level, I think second after Argentina but Id say that level is crap.

Im glad I came from one of the best private schools in the country but you can really see the difference with others, and it doesnt even consider english level which most private schools develop a lot(I learned a bit more since I lived 2 years in Alabama when I was a kid) and public school students really lack and suffer when they get to the university.
