I happen to be listening to Rush today and he brought up an
interesting report - one that had numbers something like this:

% of grade schoolers that think they're good at Math:
US:34%
Korea: 9%

Of course it turns out that the Koreans are actually good at math
while the US kids suck.

The point being that the "self esteem society" that educators seem to
push these days has created arrogant morons: kids who's self esteem is
derived from others telling them they're great rather than flowing
from achievement in a competitive environment.

That, of course, is bad news for the country as a whole.
