Why East Asian Students Outperform Americans
Isn't it quaint how East Asian nations seem to produce students who easily out-perform United States students in academic performance? Well, it might seem inexplicable to Americans who grew up viewing schools as interruptions to their video games, but it really isn't hard to understanding at all.
You see, it is simply a matter of proper socialization. The instilling of social values so that children can take full advantage of those crucial irreplaceable years during which the foundation for the rest of their lives is getting set. Unfortunately, a significant number of USA parents, seem incapable of instilling a sense of mission or a sense of academic responsibility into their kids, but foolishly choose to allow them to use schools as merely places in which to fight.

Led by Singapore, five East Asian countries also including Chinese Taipei, Korea, Japan, and Hong Kong SAR, continue to outperform all TIMSS countries in mathematics by a substantial margin at the fourth and eighth grades, according to results released today from TIMSS, the longest running, large scale international assessment of mathematics and science education in the world.
Between the top performing countries and the next highest performers there was a pronounced gap, of 26 points at the fourth grade and 35 points at the eighth grade, according to the quadrennial assessment directed by Drs. Ina V.S. Mullis and Michael O. Martin at IEA's TIMSS & PIRLS International Study Center at Boston College.
Those East Asian countries were strong in science as well, but the results were more varied. In fourth grade science, Singapore and Korea had the highest achievement, followed by a 21-point gap before the Russian Federation and Japan, with Chinese Taipei and Finland also performing well.
In eighth grade science, Singapore was the top performer, scoring 34 points higher than Chinese Taipei, Japan, and Korea, with the Russian Federation and Finland also performing well.

So the solution to the problem is simple, start imitating the way that Eastern nations raise their kids by instilling the same values for academic excellence that they do.
