Smart Guy's Dichotomy: A Short Story Of Smart Me
Instead of bracing the dumpster, Smart Guy jumped out of the way as the dumpster and Dummy fell on their sides. It didn't slam down, it more lumbered over as a small mountain of food scraps covered Dummy. Smart guy looked up and down the alley, praying he wouldn't see a horde of maniacs at either, or both ends. “God Dammit,” Dummy growled as he tried to stand up. His feet slipped on the greasy scraps as he went down on his ass. Smart Guy couldn't help but laugh as he watched this poor slob wallow in the mounds of stinking garbage. As Dummy crawled out far enough away to gain his footing, he stood up and kicked at the trash.

    America is a country that currently spends more money on public education per student than any other nation in the world; nevertheless, these good intensions have achieved only slight positive outcomes. For instance, in PISA (Programme for International Student Assessment), an authoritative test used to measure the education levels of students from 53 countries, American students ranked 12th in reading, 17th in science, and 26th in math. No doubt, a question like this one has been argued for decades “ what exactly is happening in foreign countries that allows them to out-pass America in terms of academics?” The Smartest Kids in the World: And How They Got That Way is an illuminating book by Amanda Ripley that answers the question by showing how other countries educate their kids in a much more effective way than we do.…

What makes us is the ability to fit into the society of different class such as upper class, middle class and lower class.…
