".....The article does go on to say that Japanese education leaders are
concerned  about a lack of creative thinking by students.

Of course, I'm concerned less about creative thinking and more about drugs,
shootings in the school, lack of discipline in the classes, dropouts, gangs,
disrespect, etc etc in many US schools."


Actually, all the breastfed, child-centered families I know have UNUSUALLY
CREATIVE children.  I would like to know the statistics of these social
problems in Japan, compared to US.  Does anyone know the answer to this? I'd
be willing to bet they are much less in Japan.
