Our tons shitty inner city schools and hillbilly town schools make us look shitty. most areas actually have very legit schools if you are willing to work harder.
but really i could care less, i think education for the most part, is overrated. especially when its public education.
doesnt really matter anyway when you look at all the awesome shit we have done/made and all the amazing people to come from here since we became a country. nobody else can match us in that regard.
