Very interesting article. Seeing a large India influence in the San Francisco Bay area, I can certainly see parts of this. Its really too bad as a lot of good, qualified potential gets crushed and buried.

Business executives say schools are hampered by overbearing bureaucracy and a focus on rote learning rather than critical thinking and comprehension. Government keeps tuition low, which makes schools accessible to more students, but also keeps teacher salaries and budgets low. What's more, say educators and business leaders, the curriculum in most places is outdated and disconnected from the real world.
