Re: How do Americans view Europeans?
[ QUOTE ]
I think that due to the greater variation of education systems in America (I personally was home schooled) that our top 10% might exceed Europe's top 10%, but our bottom 33% is below most of Europe's bottom 33% (depending on country).

Compared to Norway i think this is spot on. I feel like the norwegian education system concentrates on the weaker students and this leads to a better bottom of the class and a weaker top
To me it seems like the American system in general creates bigger winners but also bigger losers than the more sosialist system in Norway.
