Mr. Compton and his crap

Me. Compton brought up some very valid points in his presentation and in his documentary, Two Million Minutes. However in his search to scare the hell out of Americans, he scewed and stetched his support and evidence so to the extreme, and in my opinion well out side the line of acceptability. The schools that are chosen in India and China are both public schools, Carmel High School is a public school. The city of Bangalore is the 3rd largest in India with over 5,000,000 inhabitants, thats quite the pick of the litter in my opinion for one school. The city of Shanghai has more that 14,000,000 inhabitants, way more than Bangalore and 217 times more than the number of people in Carmel, Indiana: 64,400. Granted I would have accepted the information if he had choosen two students from say New York Cities top preperatory school. Undoubtably the differences would be much more minute. Also the charter school visited in Shanghai is funded by a the Xiwai Corporation. If thats not biased than I don't know what is.
