Where In The World...

Well, many Americans consider UK part of Europe too.

I know, but we do allow for the American education system here, and therefore let you off with that line of thinking...

That's why we don't lump Americans & Canadians together, a far better education system here....

The general education system here is not good, and it is getting worse, but we still have several of the top higher education and research institutions in the world.  And it's so much easier to get your Ph.D. in the UK than here in the US -- it's really quite an astonishing difference in the physical sciences!  I think that's true for the rest of Europe too.  ;-)
