But I wonder:If American education is so poor,why is it that this is still the country of innovation. When I was 12 in Indonesia,I had to memorize the names of all the world's major cities,from Kabul to Karachi.At the same age,my son,who was brought up a Californian,thought that Buenos Aires was Spanish for good food.However,unlike children of his age in Asia and Europe,my son had studied creative geography.When he was only 6,he drew a map of the route that he traveled to get to school,including the streets,the traffic signs and the houses that he passed.
Dissatisfied American parents forget that in this country their children are able to experiment freely with ideas; without this they will not really be able to think or to believe in themselves.
Critics of American education cannot grasp one thing:freedom.America,I think,is the only country that extends even to children the license to freely speak,write and be creative.Our public education certainly is not perfect, but it is a great deal better than any other.I think I have found the answer to my question.

After graduating, he landed on Wall Street, but every night he dreamed of working for himself.During the booming (繁荣的) 1990s, he gave it a try when he and a partner started govWorks - a software company that helped city government go online.
They raised $60 million and expanded like crazy.Then dotcoms started turning into dotbombs - govWorks broke up too.Says Isaza Tuzman, "Entrepreneurs (创业人) have to be ready for both success and failure.In Columbia if you fail, you become a pariah and no one will do business with you.The wonderful thing about this country is you can get up again."
From national parks to moon landings, America has given the world some amazing ideas.But the American Dream is still the biggest - the idea that with hard work and a bit of luck you can be whoever you want to be.Historian James Truslow Adams once wrote that Americans believe "life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone, with opportunity for each according to ability or achievement."
These days there's pressure on the dream idea.A 1978 study of boys born and raised after World War II found an astonishing 23% of the poorest had reached the top of the income heap by 1973.Now, in a typical generation, only 10% work their way from bottom to top.
But every day, some still do make it.After govWorks went bankrupt, Isaza Tuzman built on what he had learned.His new company, Recognition Group, restructures (重组) firms and finds them venture capital？–？nearly $150 million so far.Last year, "Hispanic Business" magazine named him to its 100 Most Influential list.Not bad for a dreamer, in a country built on dreams.

At school he seems only to have been interested in mathematics. In fact, his formal education was surprisingly brief for a gentleman, and incomplete. For unlike other young Virginian of that day, he did not go to the College of William and Mary in the Virginian capital of Williamsburg. In terms of formal training then, Washington contrasts sharply with some other early American Presidents such as John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. In later years, Washington probably regretted his lack of intellectual training. He never felt comfortable in a debate in Congress, or on any subject that had not to do with everyday, practical matters. And because he never learned French and could not speak directly to the French leaders, he did not visit the country he admired so much. Thus, unlike Jefferson and Adams, he never reached Europe.
