I am not bashing US, don't jump the gun here, just an observation, some executives earn as good as US here in India, India has the second largest number of millionaires and billionaires after US as per Forbes so can't be doing that bad, we have people of US origin working here as high paid executives, also lots of US students are coming here now to study management and IT based courses. As for US students performance, recent Olympiads are better indicators than any but since you ask, even US and US born Indian students who come from US school system are demoted one grade to compensate for their standards. I remember from personal experience, I had a distant relative whose daughter was class valedictorian and top ranked student in NYC Stuyvesant High, one of the prestigious schools, when they moved back to India, she was demoted one class and she went through severe mental trauma, so much so that she had to be sent back to NYC, back to her old school.
