In almost all other countries, schools are for academic study and sports are played elsewhere. Every US kid knows who the team quarterback is, but nobody can say who is the leading student in any discipline. Who is responsible? Parents who promote those values, parents who vote for school-boards, and parents who vote for state legislators who frame the system and how it works.
Why can the mother read and her son can't? She should have pulled him out of special ed years ago and taught him herself. Special ed is a scam. All these so called "specialists" suck up public school funds every year and dont do shit.
one thing that could help is teaching logicall thinking, which helps ALOT when you start on a new subject, and makes it easier to get into it.
For eksample, whe I was in england (from scandinavia:P) for 4 mothns I attended school there (not bashing england), and the first subject I had was algebra. Now, they had learned this for about two weeks, and I had barely herd of it. yet after 1 class I was almost ahead most of them nad has grasped the basics better,by using logic to figure out thesystem
I'm interested in knowing who makes decisions of helping the educational system by spending billions of dollars in olympic pools, state of the art gyms and the likes.
Money makes the world go round, but it can't fix our schools. As a FORMER teacher for a dropout prevention class I got $0 dollars. No books, not curriculum, nothing even though government programs supposedly gave extra funds to the school for this class. Behind my classroom were stacks of NEW books that were slated for disposal. Thousands of dollars of books. Don't believe what the government is telling you. It is not money. It is not the teachers. It is the leaders that are killing our school
18 on a 4th grade reading level?!? o_O umm, you can't blame the school system for that one. It's the parents' responsibility to teach their children to read. That's like one of the most basic things you learn, reading.
to me japan has the perfect school system, the hours, the way students clean up classrooms and are involved in sports and extra classes. Japanese students get out of school and study more in after school courses.
@66XANDER66 if you look at the PISA results they do every three years you'll see which school system is working best... and that would be Shanghai, China who got the #1 spot in all three categories, not to mention a perfect score in math! the US's best rank is 17th in reading... now thats terrible! lol :)
Now I'm from Barbados now I live in America believe American colleges level out their education problem at a certain age I still laughed at Americans kids while I was in class with them. I breezed through their tertiary system but they get better with age. The UK system of education really helped my country.
@FutureCACPA Yes my education is my responsibility as an adult, but as a child your are forced to go to school, and the teacher as well as the student need to put in their equal share of work. And I don't think it my fault that the education system in this country is so bad. Your probably a teacher...one of the bad ones too....
The problem with schools in the US is that the teachers don't know how to teach, they pretend and complain that they need more money, but if you go to countries that are poor, like mexico you will see that their school systems are much more effective. Here you give a sob story to a teacher and they pass you to the next retard teacher in line, Not in mexico, if you don't know the material you stay until you so. My cousin in 10 years old, and can say her multiplication tables in 2 min flat.
@karlababii909 I think the teachers know how to teach, for the most part. Our society doesn't value academic excellence outside of getting a college degree so one can get a "good" job.
@AegisNova Many of teachers do know how to teach. Its the interest they give that is the problem, if a student doesn't learn they way they are teaching, they don't do anything to change it. Or may be my luck with teachers just sucks, because I went thru school with very few teachers that were able to mend to my academic needs. And your right, in the US if your an honor student you get picked on and bullied, when in other parts of the world the honor roll students are the stars.
No wonder places like Alabama, Oklahoma, Kansas and a few other places in the States are dirt poor. They are simply too stupid. How would you make a kid smarter by asking them to go to those state of the art gyms and Olympics swimming pool everyday? STUPID!
And they also let's those kids slide in class, because they're the ones to take the school's basketball or football team to the championship. Pretty pathetic. If you can't at least make a 2.5 GPA, you shouldn't be playing sports to begin with.
if people think schools should be privatized then ask yourself if cops or roads should be privatized to, where you would have to pay money to file a police report or you would be billed for driving down streets.
Oh thank god those kids can lift weights and play football and stuff. All they have to do is read the names on their opponents' jerseys to be considered successes in this country.
If you want to have a good time, cruise through university and come out with the prospects of a job, you major in education and cross your fingers. Lousy teachers!!!
How the the HELL did that boy get to the age of 18 alive without being able to read no better than a 1st grader? I blame the mom and the boy, you can't keep blaming someone else for your own stupidity.
i think the problem with the educational system in the US is the lack of inspiration, motivation and ambition from students and staff. obama is doing shit about this. in facy, what the hell is obama doing?
@wdsa8d The whole world is fucked, its all drowning is liberalism, crisis, and war...If only we had someone who could change this, some one like Vladimir Lenin...
Indian schools ftw..... coz the teachers will beat to death if you fail in exams haha so we actually study and just for the record i studied quantum mechanics in 10th grade
@iFoRMaTioN1 You are categorizing Americans without considering outliers? That, combined with your misuse of "there" (should be 'they're') speaks volumes about your intelligence.
WOW! they got dumber! -_- they should be getting better not worse something is wrong!
