What a great, great thread! *kisses Kalessin*

I fear I have partied too much this weekend to make for an insightful, not to mention coherent, post, so let me be brief:

Nar-Let's not go knocking Tolstoy just yet! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Aiwendil-Don't know about you, but I am personally disgusted with Britney's motives, or lack thereof.

littlemanpoet-I have a basis of comparison, and therefore I must agree, education in the West, in America in particular, is definitely lacking. I was more challenged as a third-grader in the Ukraine than I was as a tenth-grader in the United States (and this wasn't even public school-this was a snotty, top-whack Southeastern private school, possibly the best in this part of the country...). I was eventually saved by AP classes, but the time wasted is a pity nonetheless.
