woah, BK!!!
sounds like maybe your schools are vastly different from ours?
the thing is, our schools focus on creativity rather than skills. I do know that in other coutries it is different such as I know in china, most schools focus on skills.
perhaps the usa is also that way?
although.. saying that, we do not get any exchange students from america. mostly from india, china, france, spain.... and i think a few more.
but i never met an american student.
