I'm sure the bell curve is universal, but don't you think at least some other countries have a much higher percentage at the top of the curve than the graduates our public schools are turning out?

You will find that the "studies" showing Chinese and Indian college grads are 'smarter' are un-founded.
Neither country submits to standardized testing--and there are CONFIRMED reports that both Indian and Chinese youth are purchasing 'degrees' wholesale.
The only diff: there are a lot MORE Chinese and Indian people--therefore, there will be, statistically, MORE who are in the top 10%.
But NOT proportionally more--the top 10 is just the top 10.
