The most recent world rankings of students in the top 65 nations indicate that U.S. students have fallen even further behind in scores of math, reading, spelling, and science. Currently the U.S. ranks 31st (between Slovenia and Lithuania). The top nations are Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Macao, and Japan.
This is no accident. IMO it clearly demonstrates not only superior school systems but most importantly the willingness of the parents to put their children first.
Nationally, we see that students of Asian heritage are quite often winners of the National Spelling Bee AND the National Geographic Science Contest.
Without the parents full support and loving discipline, the children of any nation fall quickly behind.
Moreover, I also believe that cultural ideals, and full-time supervision (of children), plays some role in why we see so much violence in our schools.
