First sentence: American readers might expect Israel to have an excellent school system and a high proportion of students who excel scholastically, due to the fact that in the United States, Jews are known for their educational achievements and stand out amongst the various groups of immigrants who arrived in the country after 1880 (Tobin, 1989; Lieberson, 1980).
