Education is something that should not be forbidden to anyone. Unfortunately, even if it is not, it ain´t good enough either. Especially elementary education in developing countries. I do believe public schools in North America are better structured than in Latin America. Despite the fact that many say US kids these days are getting more fool every single day that passes. The reason for this way of thinking may be due to the lack of discipline there´s in those schools. I´d go deeper, but I know you caught my drift. It´s ironic though how the educational system in South America is the opposite to  the American one. South Americans complain that public schools are so bad they have to rely on private ones and fork out a fortune; whereas in the US parents are OK sending there children to public schools because they are good enough for preparing them to attend college. Who doesn´t wanna look smug about the fact that they finally got their Bachelor´s degree from a good school without much effort?. That ain´t the case though. Besides, there are some other things to be taken into consideration. For instance, in South America, private colleges are just as expensive as the ones in the US. However they´re much worse. That´s why most people there attend public universities. Conversely, in the US there are student loans provided by the government. So that American students can get into good universities by working a little harder. Of course the US government recoups their investment by being paid in parts. Everyone knows that, that same system ain´t applied in developing countries however. Since the authorities in the aforementioned countries don´t help out people. enough. (Most of them even embezzle public funds for education). The community itself has to pool their own resources to educate their kids as a consequence. One interesting piece of info for example, is to talk about the best University in Latin America which is ¨The Autonoma de Mexico¨. It is famous for their science programs. Anyhow, managing to get a degree there for a common person is like lugging your bags up to the 20th floor of a busy hotel. The best colleges on earth may be thronging with applicants who just got in, but only the ones who get to finish the program are taken into account. To sum up I´d say that indeed education in developing countries needs to sex up its image. That´s why not only the community but the authorities themselves will have to improve it little by little.
