I didn't assume that the U.S. has the best education system. In fact, I never mentioned anything about it being the best. I was implying a comparison of U.S. education vs. third-world education

A somewhat pointless comparison, given that no-one would expect US education to be worse than third-world education. However, according to the OECD-funded Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), the US education system can claim to be little more than average, with the best systems being found in Japan, Korea, Finland and Canada. Australia, New Zealand, Austria, the UK and Sweden also all scored well.
