" Now let's make our anecdotes fight to the death. " Sure. Why do you, dear American, generalise across all Western nations in critic? Can you explain this very particular American trait?

Considering I'm not American, no I cannot. (I don't think they have a school "Year" system, though I'm not sure.)

As for why I generalise across "all Western nations": it's because the problem I describe is present in all the countries I listed, and while I have no information about the others, my theoretical model (incentives due to curriculums and exams) says it's probably present everywhere in this education system that's near-universal amongst… sigh… "Western" countries.

Thanks. Where are you from? Where do you have so much confidence about countries you talk about? You still didnt provide any sources, papers etc. Why?
