...and so your typical US high school. So what's the problem? We own 'em through sheer numbers.

On a serious note, it really is hard to produce creative hackers (or other producers) from within a system where conformity is massively valued over creativity. And you can't have both, as the US is discovering.

Upshot, nothing to see here.
