[quote=spdrun]Bypass the system entirely, send your kids to university in Europe. Relatively easy compared to the US to get into professional programs like 6-year med schools (some even offer English-speaking classes), plus some countries have a more tolerant attitude to vice (drinking age 18!) than the USA.[/quote]
Um, dont try to give out advice about children unless either you have kids or you are an exemplary model of the results of what you are suggesting.
And like I said. If things are so great elsewhere, get out of this country, and leave the limited resources available here available to the rest of us that like it here way better.
