Maybe if I knew wtf you were on about and what your point might be I'd answer.

 

[Innesita]

yeaa what did u mean? :O

I think he means that Singapore students work really hard, get good grades etc etc. However American students/kids whatever are all rich and there country is looked after well. (i know it isn't in all places but the majority it is "nice")

 

[Amleto]

f-z?

Maybe you only get to see the studious Singaporians being all the way over in Canada? Maybe. Just maybe.

I dont know if the OP is questioning whether theoretical or practical knowledge is better? (Assuming tests = answering questions)

If americans (using the example given) have little theoretical knowledge, they will not be able to explain the reasons for what happens when it comes to practical purposes.

The key is having both theoretical and practical knowledge, and being able to apply one to the other.

I knew a kid from Singapore....he got a First, then moved back to Singapore, now works for Accenture down there and is earning 50k/year....he only finished a year earlier than I did as well!

Bloody clever kid he is!!

Yup, we do 'satisfactory' at school and again are 'satisfactory' when it comes to the real world.
