Nasty fellows, ee book konukkoni library lo pettukune type, dhimpe type kaadu..
Jared Diamond writes in Guns, Germs and Steel about this in detail. One of the factors was the germs and fevers that were bought in by the Conquistadors. Cortes came to what is now Mexico with just around 500 soldiers. The soldiers had already become immune to many of the common diseases. But when they landed in S America, the locals just could not cope with the new strains of virus that Cortes army had in their bodies. Entire regions were devastated from the resulting epidemics...of course there are other factors also like weaponry, farming etc etc | ||

as farmer said, dutch were always the first movers to be eventually kicked out. even new york was new amsterdam first and then they got out and the british named it new york. out of all my european friends, I find them the most congenial - very warm, open to new cultures and quite friendly people. also, on avg the tallest in the world anta. and amazing world travelers. every dutch kid is taught to explore the world. maybe that's the reason they found new places more out of curiosity but never intended to colonize them as vigorously as the other european countries. balupu s/o gelupu | ||

Matter of opinion - 7-8 years back in the Db I said I chose to stay in the US because I liked the school education here better - and 7 years later having seen a kid thru high school - boy am I glad I did that
Most kids including mine went to government schools here There is a zameen aasman ka farak in the prospects and education of a kid going to a govt school in India and one going to a public school here I for one did not want my kids to spend 6 am to 10 pm between coaching centres and school Lets compare apples to apples - US lo public school students ni desam lo coaching centre trained kids to compare cheyyatam kadu.If you pick up kids from similar academies here you will probably see equivalent if not better quality And you have to remember IIT screens just based on one test - colleges here screen based on all round development - so the kids here do not dedicate their life to working a 100 problems a day (I know cos my bil's daughter is same age as my sone and she used to complete a ballpoint refill every 2-3 days between coaching and school - so yes US folks don't do great at timed tests or repetitive tasks - even here desis /asians take those prizes But I have never equated math ability with speed Another difference - Eppudo oka picture post chesanu - my son and his friend were given an assignment to define their own problem , solve it and present the solution - they made up a couple problems- a Torus problem and relative rates , worked with their teachers late into the night and by themselves later and then at 4 am my son had the energy to think up the word problem around it , draw cartoons illustrating it that left the teacher in splits the next day That is what I love - the freedom of expression and solutions - and that to me is what breeds creative problem solving, ideation and innovation The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance; the wise grows it under his feet : James Oppenheim | ||

PhD/MS, I think some culture/races have some things come naturally to them. Blacks/afro-americans are just super athletes and terrific at dancing/entertainment. You see majority of sports and Blacks are miles ahead of other races - yes there are many reasons for that, but the result is Blacks being athletically superior. Similarly brainy sutff - Americans/their education system is not really as highly rated as other countries. Higher Education, America's got it. till, UG though, if I have an option there are a number of other countries that trump the US! Frodo Destroyed The Ring!

True dat! There are pros to education system or curriculum design here, at the same time the Indian system is not entirely the demon/monster it is being portrayed. No one forces people to join coaching centers and other high-pressure enviornments - people are free to choose government schools and less pressure filled environments. A big example is people joining IIT because they got through JEE. You dont HAVE to join IITs you know. People take it up and it is a super high-pressure environment, a far cry from MIT/Harvard here. That doesn't mean IIT environment is bad, it just means you or in case of many Indians, their parents made the wrong choice. Frodo Destroyed The Ring!

well, there are reasons for that primarily us being forced to calculate stuff for lack of calcies. given that, there are established/claimed reasons why chinese are better at math since the way they enumerate is apparently very different from the roman numerals that the west does. so a chinese kid better remembers a sequence of numbers than any western kid. a similar reason for the korean domination in high school math of late. one silly but interesting reason - their currency is in the 1000s and not in units. so a child starts thinking in higher numbers right from childhood and this translates to comfort with numbers. but comfort with numbers doesnt make one good at math.
again, choice. all these cultures are super focused on the sciences and it is not a surprise they are more comfortable with it. the only country which has similar culture as US but still competes/kicks their ass in math is France. would you debate that an avg US kid is way more rounded than the kids from these 'strong math' cultures you see? and to the claim abotu MIT /IIT, I would posit that any math PhD from US is as good if not better than a math PhD from any of these other cultures; simply beause an american math PhD got there by choice and not because he/she was forced to. balupu s/o gelupu | ||

@Bushu: Appreciation of art: I find the average american scared of math and numbers. my mom has not done much schooling but she loves numbers and she is just an example of many Indians who are extremely comfortable with numbers/math/tech. Yes Americans got better infrastructure and possibly curriculum, but Indians, Iranians, Egyptians, Russians - they have an affinity towards math/numbers that I do not see in average American. Ofcourse I have not seen average Iranian/Egyptian/Russian, but the average Indian doesn't seem as spooked or scared by numbers as Americans are. Appreciation of art of mathematics - I see my friends from IITs and NITs and their appreciation is more natural than undergrads in MIT and other comparable top schools, so I don't agree with you that Americans have better appreciation of mathematics than Indians. To me the most natural mathematicians are Indians, Egyptians, Iranians, Russians [order I am not sure, but Russians might get my top billing]. I actually put Chinese and Germans ahead of Americans.

absolutely. kumon is indian education repackaged. for all that you know, if a kid is better off with such repetition, that may be the way to go. tough to convince me though. US education is a diff style. imagine a graph with X axis as time and Y as learning. K-5, this graph is pretty flat; 5-8 it starts ascending at a higher slope and 9-12, it just takes off. so for a kid to do well during 9-12, needs a solid family support and sound grounding through k-8: one of the biggest reasons for high school dropouts in single parent families and lower income families. while in india, the taking off starts right at K level. this makes no sense whatsoever since the kid does not even know what 'learning' is yet. so bottomline, you are right with pushing on kumon. let them enjoy their childhood and discover what they are good at. 9-12 is going to be hell anyways. some of those kids are frikkin busy from 7 am to 11 pm. it's just crazy. balupu s/o gelupu | ||

Learn to use quote if you are too lazy to type 4 more letters - there are too many ids that start with A  So the major diff in the curriculum is the choice - in desam everyone follows the same curriculum - here you can go to the level you can handle - Kids interested in Math can go 2-3 grades higher and study - kids not interested can stay at a basic level Its a flexible one - my son's friend - the kid si a whiz at math and physics - could barely pass english- be stuck the basic english and the most advanced math they could do But the higher they go , the less instruction there is and more self-study...And they definitely don't do the hundreds of repetitions an problems - its more conceptual .. As to ease and depth -I was surprised to see and an article by a kid who came to CMU for undergrad'surprising things about america'- it was interesting to see that he thought the kids here collaborated because the assignments here were way harder and people needed to help each other than the ones back home where they could do by themselves So may be its just that the material covered is different - people who study a certain set find that easy I found that disconnect when I was writing EAMCET after CBSE - state syllabus had different math topics than CBSE back thenThe foolish man seeks happiness in the distance; the wise grows it under his feet : James Oppenheim | ||

Indians are more 'calculation' inclined because of the mugging we all do in childhood. that's not necessarily math inclination. since american kids have a choice, those who dont like math tend to shine in other subjects. indian kids, for want of a choice are forced to regurgitate math and end up being soulless calculating machines, with no true appreciation of the art. balupu s/o gelupu | ||

meeru kuda na Raju garu?

@ A: From my interactions with undergrads here, their level of math both depth and breadth are not upto Indian standards. Same goes for physics/chemistry - on the theory side. Lab experience, US got India beat big time - infrastructure.... It could very well be US has a better curriculum than India but Indians are more math/tech inclined. English ofcourse Indians don't pursue with the zeal US does as we learn more languages - 4 languages is what I officially learnt by the time I finished 12th. So on humanities you can say US goes for depth, India goes for breadth..... Frodo Destroyed The Ring!

Don't have any idea on what they are learning in high school in India these days - so cannot compare - but my older one was doing Multivariable calculus and linear algebra by 12th grade Way more math than I did even in college The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance; the wise grows it under his feet : James Oppenheim | ||

"math" Really? Indians, Iranians and Egyptians are the monarchs of math, right? Last I heard americans were not in top 10 math olympiad and stuff.

 12 years - robotics - freedom - dictatorship.. Jokes apart, having seen my brother's kids in the US and others, i feel that the purported higher education rigor of India is not all that true. In math, english etc. i feel that the same grade students in the US have a higher level...my kid has some classmates who returned from the US, their parents too are cribbing that the level here is quite low than what they are used to in the US... | ||

My general suggestion is to make some online acquaintances and then they will guide you around. This is generally what i follow. Touring a new country is so much fun if you have some local friends to guide you. they dont have to be with you every minute, but if you can check a few things with them every now and then, that would be best. Of course when you make online acquaintances be careful and use discretion...... do NOT miss iguazu falls copa cabana in Rio is another super place.....Frodo Destroyed The Ring!

Scal - i have been to Brazil earlier on work, going again tomorrow for a week. My trips are only to Sao Paolo. I found it a very exciting place, throbbing with energy, nice arts and music scene, good and free museums/ galleries etc. Women are among the prettiest i have seen, melting pool of genes baga kalisi vochchayi.. I found it quite safe, i found more women out on the streets at 11 at night than i see in Delhi at 7 pm. Surely there will be areas that are seedy like the favelas but tourists anyway do not go there. So as long as you stick to the touristy places you should be fine. Language is a big big problem, water ante ento kooda theliyadu...i had to learn dumb charades for that too. Food kummeyachchu - go to the Brazil churrascaria, i don't drink but you should try the caipirinha which i tasted a bit I am still not sure if it is a family holiday place...Argentina might be better or Chile or Peru.... | ||
