The hater comments and mental excuses by American posters are hilarious.

The usa doesn't value its citizens education unless you belong to the top club and pay, europe is better and eastern europe used to be the best since that was all they had.

This is coming from someone who went through the Swiss (probably was amongst the best in western Europe) and eastern European education systems.

The east math was simply much harder, deeper and on a better level. That is all there is. Look, China is valuing the education of their citizens and they are up and coming fast.
