Re: How is it in America now?
Every level of schooling in America, from preschool to the end of college, is completely broken in our country. We invest so little in education that it's a miracle we are a global competitor at all.

Lol. I always thought (and still think) that America is a leader in educational products.melancholy wrote:Every level of schooling in America, from preschool to the end of college, is completely broken in our country.

Huh, never have been thought that it will turn out that way.Many of my friends and family have developed a egocentric, "fuck 'em all" mentality when it comes to welfare/universal healthcare/basic income. It's an "us vs. them" type of thought where us = "hard-working, productive members of society" and them = "impoverished, Ebonics-speaking degenerates."
I consider that this kind of hate mostly connected with afroamericans who live on social pension or something like that.
How do I try to build a Dreamcast toolchain:

Re: How is it in America now?
Yes, American education is some of the finest education I have ever had the opportunity to come across.
I have seen the Cambridge system, iGSCE, IBO etc but the high school that my 14 year old brother is going to... I wish I went there.

Re: How is it in America now?
I'm sorry, but when I watch 2-3 schools close down every single year, teachers getting laid off or converted to part time, buses being shut down...and yet, in spite of all the cuts, still being vastly over budget in spending makes me think that we don't really give a shit about how functional our schools are. We really only seem to be focused on college and job training with almost no attention to the 18 years before that.

Re: How is it in America now?
Yes, there are problems.
We have countless reports of teachers raping/statuary raping students as well.
At the same time we have reports of teachers getting fired for taking a sick student to the hospital and then paying her medical bills from her own pocket.
It is an unfortunate situation when the government doesn't adequately fund one of the most important things that determine our future, but even with all the problems it is still better than a lot of countries.
