Thanks to my school, I can distinguish lie from truth. That's a very important feature, which is not common at the West, unfortunately.
Where exactly do you get your ideas about "the west". "The west" is a very diverse place, which west are you talking about? You know, as for myself, I can't speak very highly about highschool education in the west. However, I know that may not be the case for every single highschool across America. Also, I have had some absolutely excellent college professors. The college experience in the west is much different than the highschool experience.
