Understandable, I may have been a bit harsh, however I'm working off of my experiences with New Jersey education. Christie does nothing but fuck the public school systems, all I have seen are rich kids barely able to solve for x when it says x=2 because the teachers with tenure just do not care about teaching.
Though as a Nation as a whole, I would say we are far behind a couple European countries in Math. The history and sciences are decent, not great but decent, though Math is definitely lacking.
Honestly nigga, you're the one in ten in this country who's actually a smart motherfucker, and I wouldn't credit Americas educational system to your intelligence, more along the lines of personal mental comprehension. Though my college experience thus far is limited, I can say it definitely surpasses HS, though the distance between the two is so ridiculously large it's intimidating to people who are thinking of going to college, then again we only have the NCLB to thank for that
