JMB and Kim: Man for people who want to portray themselves as intelligent and "well educated" you surely seem to have trouble understanding that this thread has nothing to do with whether The DR has as good of schools as The US. For the umpteenth time nobody's defending Dominican public schools or putting down US schools.
We all know what's up at each one of these, but just because The US has more resources doesn't mean your kid is assured a better education. More opportunities? Yes for sure, but it's up to the kid and parents to take advantage of those opportunities. What you think may be right for your kid may not be right for mine. It sounds that all you're thinking is money, but that's not always everyone's definition of success.
