Don’t raze our schooling system


THE letter “Rethink education system” by Ashraff Sanusi (StarEducation, Dec 21) struck a chord in my heart. As a recent product of the Malaysian public education system, I’m aware of the thousands of complaints heaped against that institution.  

Yet now as a third-year student at a liberal arts college in the United States, I find myself complaining just as much about the US education system. No country’s system is perfect.
