    Russians want to show that they're good at being sarcasm which they aren't.

    In contrast to the efforts of tiny Israel to make contributions to the world so as to better mankind, one has to ask what have those who have strived to eliminate Israel from the face of the earth done other than to create hate and bloodshed.

    Umm no, its on an exaggeration...What we study in grade 7 here is what they know how to do by 2nd grade. Also, how doesn't education mean much?

    What I meant is: Surpasing the US in the quality of egucation is not a great feat. It can be done with ease. So saying "our ejucaton is better than americas" doesnt actually mean mutch.


    EDIT: wait, is this a real textbook?...... It must be some kind of joke.
    EDIT2: What about japans textbooks?

    What exactly did you study in grade 7 that they learn by 2nd grade?

    this isn't about America's eduction system. It's about Russia's

    and while many of our history books might be inadequate, at least its not pumped full of propaganda.

    I'm confused. You are a Russian Canadian referring to the US as we? Are you an American or Canadian? Are you a Russian? Do you live in Russia, Canada or the US?

    What side are you taking? Are you saying that what American seventh graders are learning, Russian second graders are learning? If this is so, I have a hard time believing Russian second graders are graphing lines, solving multiphase algebraic expressions and reading novels such as To Kill a Mockingbird. Cause that's what I did in seventh grade.

    Sometimes you have to step back from your US hate and realize that you are just wrong.

    It's ok to hate the US, but making absurd claims such as that is just not true.
