Why are our universities world renowned but our high school system is not?

“Africa, is actually a continent, which consists of 58 states, territories or countries.”
-What it has to do with the fact that most countries there are underdeveloped and my example was referring to one of them?
Are we into geography lessons here or we are into adult discussion about a shameful condition of the k - 12 system. Anybody can bully me as much as they wish, I will never change my opinion, I know how school education should work, and it is not the way the American k - 12 is. Not facing the problem is the main obstacle in resolving it. Any drunk who says that he does not have a problem, will have no chance at quitting drinking, everybody knows that. Well, if head is in a sand, then eyes do not see anything. I guess, this position works for some, congrats on finding a proper solution!
