I don't know much about Russian education. Those Russians I do know are educated and usually travel quite a bit.
People thought that computers and the internet would make people smarter and freer, on the contrary, it leads people to being dependent on their phone and gives the authorities more power to watch over you more easily.
Yeah, education in the US seems to take a back burner. I'm almost certain there are those who would have public education banned and everyone has to pay for their kids to go out of their pocket before they can too.
Well, he's the result of the US's amazing education.
This Student Failed Her Assignment Because Her Professor Said "Australia Isn't A Country"
A student at the Southern New Hampshire University failed an assignment because they wrote about Australia as a country. The professor said Australia wasn't a country.

This is like when I drove into America from Canada and had to go into the visa office to get an entry stamp because I'm from New Zealand. When they called me up while looking at my New Zealand passport they said "Tessa Calogaras from Australia" and then made me confirm that I was from Australia!? Like uhh no, I'm from the country which the passport you're clearly holding and looking at is from, New Zealands a country too.
So uncomfortable, I thought they weren't going to allow me to come in because they thought New Zealand was apart of Australia!"

I started an exchange program in a prominent New York University. I’m Australian. After a couple of weeks, admin called me out of classes and said I need to take an English as Second Language exam before I could commence classes. I tried to explain that I was Australian. English is my FIRST language. It took some convincing but I finally made my point clear."
Also other such stories would be an American asking an English person "so, what language do you speak?"
English person responds "I speak English."
American "No, I mean, what language do you speak in England?"
English person "In England we speak English."

Smartphones do not make people do stupid things with smartphones. The technology just gives us options.

I get what you're saying. That's not the point though.
My point is there's more information readily available, and yet people are shunning this information.
