High school is still the same, and it sucks

Where I lived when I was younger there was a private CofE convent school that was about 75% Hong Kong students. I think probably escaping exactly what you're describing.

I work in education now.  The higher-ups try to convince the public that our education system is great.  The media immediately points out that almost none of their children actually go through the system.  They all send their children overseas or to local international schools.

In mainland China, my experience is that robot schools are basically the bane of the poor and lower-middle classes.  Rich kids seem to be able to bribe their way into the better schools and apparently universities too, or else just go abroad.

First car I ever owned was the used Chrysler K-car I bought from my then-gf's father. If you wanted to pass someone on the highway, you had to get out and push. 

  Nothing says "powah" like that inline 4-cylinder did.

My first car was a '70 Dodge Coronet.
