the one and only good learning, an Indian schooling teaches you, is failure. and that's the one thing the American education system does not teach at all. or maybe very rarely, and certainly never after high school. if you're in college, it will give you a degree as long as you don't drop out. if you're enrolled into a graduate program, the worst you can do, is get a Masters degree. Noone will ever show you the reviled 'F', simply because the assumption is that if those before did not, then you are entitled to sail through this higher level. Even if, you know nothing that you must, given you are being certified.

maybe that's why Asian immigrants do so well once they are here. acquaintance with failure can be a huge win in life.
