You know at first I was so admiring America as the free country and first world country until the lately their downfall.

I am also noticed kids in America less respect for their teachers which is kinda dissapointing because it shows differs than what I expected from the first community.



U.S school education system become one of top in the world like Standford, Ivy League, etc but in the end nothing more sadness how high prestige school like Standford able to get fooled by a woman named Elizabeth Holmes who lied about her invention.

Maybe this is one of U.S propaganda to be the best country in the world. I don't know. But my dream shattered piece by piece.

The public K-12 system is sub-par. We have excellent universities but the cost to attend is out of control. The education system needs a major overhaul.

it amazes me how the American school system is so pathetic when their universities are the best in the world

@SW-User even working outside of the USA?
Elessar · 26-30, M
@SW-User I fear that has more to do with the job market of the respective countries than uni preparation itself. I mean, here you can have even a PhD and chances are you'll earn less than a waiter (with no offense to waiters) in Germany. The best offer a friend of mine with a chem engineering MSc. could find was €900/mo after-tax. He's moving to London, and like him, many others do the same.

I know (indirectly) other Italians who graduated here and work in the U.S. and don't earn less than Americans.

@SW-User It is about the priorities that a nation wants for it's citizens. Those priorities are determined by the voters.

Not true.
I do not know where you live – I live in Europe, and all I can say is the educational systen in America is first class.
Count the number of American Nobel laureates, just to get an impression.

@Pocky Central Europe, with roots in Italy.
@helenS
The USA has a population of 331,002,651, and of these 383 have won a Nobel Laureate. That's one laureate winner for every 864,236 people.

Europe has 455,000,000, and of these 514 have won a Nobel Laureate. That's one laureate winner for every 885,214 people.

Both unions of states have some of the world's top universities.

However, the elite does not represent any education system as a whole unless every child has equal access and opportunity to the best schooling and other factors like good diet, exercise, sleep and stable family.

I did a scan of reports on comparative standards of education. I found the international reports used many different variables, and the answers varied widely depending on how the standard was evaluated.
Although most of the sources of information appear reliable, I couldn't find a single report which could give what I considered an adequate answer.

@hartfire Well the whole Arab world, with 1.6 billion people, had 2 Nobel prize winners, and both of them lived in the US.
Like, for example, Achmed Zewail, he won the the Nobel prize in Chemistry. He's from Egypt.

True that. Especially early childhood education. Teaching kids to be special snowflakes, smh.
MarkPaul · 26-30, M
@Carver What do you specifically know about early childhood education?
Carver · 31-35, F
@MarkPaul Quite a bit. My wife happens to be a preschool teacher.
MarkPaul · 26-30, M
@Carver Well, I guess there is that. But, I'm not sure that schools can be necessarily be blamed with turning kids into "special snowflakes."
TexChik · F
of course it is...liberals run it. They want to make America stupid again. And its working.
helenS · 36-40, F
@TexChik You American people can be very proud of your educational system. It's one of the best in the world.

It worked for me

The teaches can’t force students to learn. If the students don’t want to learn it’s not the teachers fault

It's ok if you are not allowed to enter the USA - I understand the frustration.
@MarmeeMarch and the "queers" you were talking shit about earlier that scared you so bad you took your post down cause you was scared of the backlash
@ExperienceDLT Backlash -lol😂

This is by no means an accurate assessment, as K-12 education varies widely from district to district and state to state.

To the extent that education is poor in some areas, that's by design. Funding through property taxes ensures that wide disparities will continue and there's been a war on public schools for years, which in many states has reduced state funding to supplement the local tax levies.

The word "complete" there bugs me.

I really think we should be figuring out what's wrong with the bathwater and what to replace it with before we throw it out and just assume that anything else would be better, or even no worse.
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
Not a funny one. It does depend on what geographical, socio-economic area you refer to.
