A note on pronunciation. Dissect is not pronounced the same way that bisect and trisect are. The difference is that there are two s’s in diSSect making the prefix of dissect DIS and not DI. BI sect is to cut in two pieces. TRI sect is to cut in three. But the prefix DIS has the meaning “”to undo” as in DIS appear or DIS like or DIS agree. So, dissect means to unsection or to take apart.

And by looking at the map of europe, one could notice that all are below the US education system in general except Britain that may rank above the US.

an elaboration in the talk that you've given-David McCullough: Americans in Paris, if the US has excelled the world by year 2000 in two majors which are medicine and technology, what other majors could they master.

French people treat education as they do with art, so their main focus on the individuals rather than the material and the pupils ability to absorb the knowledge and then get the most of all at the end. So by concentrating on one and keeping the other does give an outcome like a scientist in a particular matter but at the same time has great weakness.

In General, US education system ranks among the top if not the top in the world in some part like northeast it maybe classified as if no other place like it, but in general it is close to British system which i believe is the top education system in the world.

Boy, I don't see the feasibility of the idea that i would like to introduce because to do so, one has to sit with really expert people in the matter and that's include (law, management, and religion) for about a year and then one could decide a go sign or no-go sign.

Boy, every community has defined civilization according to their own legend but what I would like the US to elaborate on is how could they make a well-made civilian system that meet all people needs and comfort and doesn't intervene any law practice or religion obligation. It does seem impossible but it could be only hard to do so because there are too much work to do before one could start and also the success could be marginal. Finally, does it worth the work? and Why?

And to measure their success, it may take about fifty years too.

Up to year 2000, the US was a nation that the world countries were looking up to, it was an admirable figure of justice and the the right practice in people life and inventions in technology. so that's why to remain an admirable figure.

Boy, america was always about new things, they try them first and use them first and introduce them to the world first, that's in terms of products.

Education is affordable and state funded in most European counties.... thus your citizens are productive and educated-- am I wrong?
