What makes it even sadder is that the Belgian kids who whipped the butts off the New Jersey kids in that math test is that they all probably speak at least two languages.
This is so depressing. This country is heading nowhere. It's so embarrassing when they ask Americans simple geograhy questions that students in "underdeveloped" nations know, they don't know. There's going to be a point where people are going to be embarrassed to say they're American lol
USA: with China, the largest polluter in the world - largest foreign debt - highest obesity according to the latest data of the OECD - highest unemployment - most people in jail - most deadly car accidents - most suicides - most murders - most rapes - most thefts - most registered pedophiles - most child abuse - most power outages - etc, etc...
lol. Instead of fostering muscle and geeks and not nerds, spend money on a library. Australia prevented a recession by pumping money in the education system and was extremely successful. it wasn't spent on crap, but on more classrooms, books, and other infrastructure to expand the learning environment. my school alone got 2 new classrooms and an upgraded library... I spent most of after school doing homework there and was extremely successful.
that's sad. I'm Australian and I know all of this by randomly talking with friends... I'll definitely change my preferences from harvard to tokyo uni... got to learn Japanese
@ManyThings26 Romans weren't defeated by Christians, Christianity was the main religion of the Empire by the time of its fall. They were defeated through a combination of economic instability, civil war, and Germanic invasions, those Germanics were mostly Pagans.
@Blue25040 You mistake my point. In my school, someone who gets good grades is someone who is an object to be made fun of. It's a really terrible example for anyone trying to get better and it rests at the heart of the problem: The kids have been brought up with little interest in education.
@2ppvoxx So, how can you explain that people un USA are not able to locate correctly other countries on a map, they are not able to calculate the Hypothenuse of a square triangle ! They don''t even remember their own history ! Hey ! Money is not the solution, Money is not a god, but a purpose for people to obtain wellness, so those who are taking all money are criminals, because money was made to flow, not to be collected like Uncle Scrooge
@2ppvoxx And, Are you able to speak a foreign language ? Are you able to think REALLY different ? ( not as in PEPSI ads) ? What are you thinking about ? do you believe that Paradise is yours just because your country is the most powerfull, Romans thought that 2000 years ago, they were defeated by far more civilized people they called "Christians"
@pat5168 That's only because your government just sees you as a bunch of consumers, The Real education that TV and Medias are getting to people is :Be stupid, no need to be smart ! Smart people are boring morons, they are soooooooo stupid ! That's why more and more people all over the world began to nreally hate America ! Only for the dumbness and its freaky consequences all around the world !
I feel like my school is really holding me back. In History, I once turned in an 8 page essay on Alexander the Great that I labored over for a week. My teacher looked at it and said "Too long, do it over." without bothering to read it. I really feel like I need to dumb it down and restrict myself now so I get an accepted grade.
It's actually a great idea! The government gives each student money to pick their own private school of choice. Get rid of public school. With that system private schools will compete for students, rather then a socialist system in our public school that offers no competition for getting the students to be in their schools. Anything run by the government is a recipe for chaos.
Sounds like a bad idea. Here in Finland everyone attends a public school and were no. 1 in the PISA tests frequently. Its not bad if its run by the government as long as the government cares about it. Socialism isnt always bad. Infact capitalism isnt always good either. Capitalism tends to forget children are people and not statistics. You have to find a balance.
@SaunaFinland I'd have to agree with you. Politicians here don't care about our education, it seems like they want to keep us at the bottom forever, they never want to see us progress.
I guess when u say America u are talking about U.S because America is NOT a Country.it is a Continent.Take a map and find wher is America and see how big it is.it a geographic land divided in South,Central and North.SO please change this video name.and go back to school.
I am so sick of society leaving everything up to the teachers! What about holding the parents responsible for the lack of interest the students?? I bet if these kids where disciplined at home for not making the grade at school and punished when not behaving the way they should America's academic performance would be far better since kids would actually try to succeed in school. I'm Just going by what worked for me while I was growing up...
@melijaje06 One time on real time bill maher commented (i am paraphrasing) that when he was a kid it was teachers and parents against the kid. Now it is teachers vs the parents and the kids. I think that is the problem. teachers are not given the freedom to do what is necessary to teach a class.
@kaganmatthew83 Yeah, you're right. Teachers need to be allowed explore other methods of teaching since the ones that are currently in place are not all that successful. By the way I think I saw that episode from bill maher you are speaking of he was pretty much on target with that argument :)
@melijaje06 How bout this, fuck disciplining them, how about trying to get them INTERESTED in school? People don't have to hate learning, I know my grades skyrocketted as soon as I started becoming interested in things like science, economics, etc; I wanted to know, and information fascinated me.
Parents can do a lot to help incite that in their kids, starting from a young age even.
Kids are curious when they're young, that's why they do well in school. It should stay that way.
@melijaje06 said "I bet if these kids where disciplined at home for not making the grade at school and punished when not behaving the way they should"
You're showing exactly what's wrong with parenting in the USA! lol Discipline? Punishment? Is that your idea of proper parenting? No wonder....
Proper parenting is about love, understanding, respect, being able to listen, helping, etc. Proper parenting is not about spoiling and for the rest not bothering and being a lazy parent.

I live in Gilbert Arizona and my Highschool has a $100,000 dollar welding shop, $70,000 dollar woodshop, and much more. I would put my school up against any average foreign school.
@sbdb7 What is wrong with you? You fucking went through like eleven of my posts to highlight my "incorrect spelling" when I was clearly using slang. Get a fucking life. LMAO.

@Risefotruth this great but, too bad you live it statistically the dumbest state. And this stuff is great if you want everyone to be welders or plumbers. What happens if you decide you want to be sucessful?? I guess you have to move huh?
First off i think you need to use correct punctuation and grammar to make a point. Second off we have computers classes, foreign language of your choice, aviation, a good sports curriculum. We also have photography, pottery, and programming classes.
Also i understand statistically we may be one of the "less intelligent" states, but i assure you, we have our golden schools also.
@Risefotruth Don't complain about his punctuation and grammar, when yours isn't great either, not to mention that you constantly write "i" instead of "I".
@Risefotruth $100,000 welding shop, $70,000 wood shop and a bunch of spoiled rotten, stupid miscreants. By the way, you don't need to write "dollars" when you use the dollar sign. So much for your schooling jackass!
@MrCherubhair1 been WWII. they hired germans during the revolution to fight the americans. but back to the earope ww2 subject. so, we didnt save europe eh? sure, heck we coulda stayed home and not sacrificed all those lives to save briton, france, and many other european contrie's butts! we coulda lay back and let the japs and nazis and the italians, go right ahead and take briton, take china, possibly take larger parts of russia then they already took, heck we shoulda joined em, front row seats
@FoodleDoodleStudios ah-hem, it appears you do not understand history in any way whatsoever. The Nazi's did not and could not take Britain, our forces were too good and too many, protected as an island it was extremely difficult to assault and take over Britain. They easily took France. When the Nazi's proceeded an assault on Russia, towards the end of the war the Russians fought back, the nazi's worn down NOT BY AMERICANS but by the COLD WEATHER and the russian army.
@FoodleDoodleStudios The russian army then proceeded towards berlin in their hunt for hitler (alone i let you presume, not with american troops) and fact, The Eastern Front was decisive in determining the outcome of World War II, eventually serving as the main reason for Germany's defeat. Not the American's. You did take the Japanese and i commend you for that. Also in D-Day it was not the ''hardest beach to fight upon'' it was the ''bloodiest most unprepared''.
@FoodleDoodleStudios ''The offensive to capture central Germany and Berlin started on 16 April with an assault on the German front lines on the Oder and Neisse rivers. After several days of heavy fighting the Soviet 1BF and 1UF punched holes through the German front line and were fanning out across central Germany. By 24 April, elements of the 1BF and 1UF had completed the encirclement of Berlin and the Battle of Berlin entered its final stages''. Learn your history America.
@FoodleDoodleStudios I do agree that without America, we would probably have to fight Japan, but i am more than sure that Russia would prevail, it would just be a different battle, where America would have to fight the Russian's through a more impressive buffer zone and more land control, the cold war would be much more intense and possibly more nuclear, and the world would possibly be fucked over if Britain and the allies failed. But still, learn your history,k 'countries'
@MrCherubhair1 oops, thought i clicked onna different video, so that comment makes no sense, but anyway with the freedom thing, briton was a world power, they were a super power, they defeated spain and france, they were babarians wanting land and riches, then cam teh colonies, the colonies were origionally started by people escaping england to have freedom and al, then briton took over, and we fought back. if we didnt win, briton would still probably be a world power, heck, thered would have be
Stupid frikken Aussies, frikken faggots, why u complaining about us? What have u morons ever done to deserve any respect huh? Aussies got it good, they were just a bunch of prisoners that got dumped here and Rey started colonizing, we had to frikken fight for our freedom! People actually died when we started our country, we defeated the largest super power at the time, with help from France of course,we changed the way government worked! We invented freedom! We rescued Europe, defeating 3 count
@Spjungen Just the point I was going to make....the problem with education? Its standardised, its public, its governed and controlled centrally, away from the communities where maybe, just maybe there is no "one size fits all" education policy. Plus people who go into teaching aren't exactly the brightest apples in the barrel. Look at the scandinavian countries where you need a PhD to teach high school and get paid the salary of a doctor....
Easy solution: Khan Academy! Free, amazing education on youtube! He started with a computer and youtube and has educated millions through his amazing and free teaching abilities.
@Hawkallica I think it's a great idea but the bad side teachers are fired (which would make them get even more pissed) and children wouldn't be socializing
@TheReturnofLurker15 ew gross... it's one thing to be against rothschilds and another to be against zionism... their country was hijacked exactly the same way ours was... further more im on the fence about ron paul... his supporters tend to overlook the disturbing facts as irrelevant and brush them off... but at the same time he generally has his logical reasons... like anti CIVIL RIGHTS ACT and pro-Confederacy... you can butter them up but they don't go down smooth...
After watching this video it seems clear to us watching that the unions have really got it wrong as far as the kids are concerned but not for themselves. They are in the game only for the money, the easy hours, long holidays & health benefits. They know exactly what they are doing & that's why they are so strong as a unit.It's up to the intelligent teachers who actually care about the education of the kids & the parents to do something to put an end to the bureaucracy in the US education system.
@donnavmanolis check out an article from theatlantic(.)com "what americans keep ignoring about Finland's school success" it shades some more light what could be done inside states. "real winners don't need competition" and equality creates success. Check it out. But again just one example of how to fix education :)
I guess I'll put my two cents in. People say that public school funds should be reduced. But why? I mean, I go to a public school and it is not the best, but I do learn a lot. A lot of my friends are smart I believe. Our private school last year, their graduating class was only 6 students. Now it is shut down. Still no money is coming to our school system despite the fact that we have students who want to learn. I am still new to these school/government stuff but IDK why we cant get more money.
First rule of thumb: never expect anything good come from above. You want a good education? Educate yourself! Public education should be reduced to a minimum to make room for private efforts.
@Skandalos true! We have big classrooms in Finland too. My elementary education was with 33others and one teacher. After that in middle school the average was around 30. And education isn't supposed to be that fun. School is the kids day job and it teaches them responsibility. And most kids are motivated by teachers who make the subject interesting like for example physics:it is dull, but if you say that the whole universe is open for exploration with physics it just works. Exploration is fun.
In a free market of education, shitty schools will run out of business and get a bad name, and will have to either get better or run out fo business, it is the people who vote with their money who decides which school is better, not the schools.
Exactly what enforceable rules would you put for competition and for what end?
Yes, I was serious. And I kinda agree with your second paragraph, so idk why you were giving me that tid bit of common narrative. Rules for competition would have to include a common standard of competition and oversight. If I was a private school I would only allow smart kids into my school, I would make it an "all rich kid" school to make max profit, and would waste most of my profits on looks rather than substance. It sucked in the past, that's why they changed it.
If you raise your kids to be sceptics you'll raise intellectuals and thinkers.If you raise them into a religion thatthey have to believe in something of which they have no proof of THAT is how you create stupid people.It is okay for kids to believe in god and santa because they are kids but if you allow them to hink for themselves and not forcefeed religion they will start to think for themselves and become intellectuals and maybe stop blindly believin at the age of reason.
@ItIsBadForU Complete garbage. Some of the greatest inventions and discoveries in humanity were made by people of faith. The belief that for someone to be an "intellectual" or a "thinker" they must have no belief in the supernatural is a very close-minded belief. Very few people who believe in a religion believe it blindly, many have experienced events to lead them to belief. So get off your high horse, and let people think for themselves. An interesting aside, your spelling is atrocious.
@nikolaib I'm from Finland so suprisingly my spelling isn't that good and a write pretty fast so I don't have time to do spell checks.Name great inventions that were made because of faith? In the medieval times and pretty much up to the 20th century people had to say that they were people of faith and many grants and opportunities in astronomy/science were offered by rich churhes.That doesn't prove one way or the other wether the person in question was a believer.
@nikolaib and you say that people don't believe blindly? Well the human mind is a complex thing it can make you think you are awake even though you are a sleep and if you activate different parts of the brain you can have a"god experience"or the feeling that somebody is watching.Religion is the biggest delusion in the world and if you have people who have the same delusion it just feeds the monster. Same with people who have experienced UFO abductions same delusion,same brain function.
@Huboons atheism isn't a religion you don't have to do anything to be an atheist. No worshipping no rules nothing it is just an answer to one question: do you believe that there is a god?-no, then that makes you an atheist. Nothing more. Allthough many atheists are also sceptics and humanist or something else so they have something in common.In a way if you believe in a christian god you are an atheist towards all the other gods like Thor, allah,Horus,and so forth.
@ItIsBadForU Yes, atheism is a religion and it's based on faith that there is no creator. Agnosticism is a lack of faith. Atheism has organized, dogmatic meetings, it's members proselytize (as you are doing here) and it attacks competing philosophies. It also has prophets (Richard Dawkins).
@Huboons what the hell are u talking about.I am an atheistand I don't attend meetings we don't worship anyone and Dawkins isn't a profet lol.The only thing that atheists sometimes do is trying to reason and debate but that does not make it a religion.A movement maybe.I do sometimes comment on youtube but that in no way compares to, prayer or a sunday mass or walking from door to door because I am made to do that or I might go to hell.Nobody is making me do anything!It is freedom!
@ItIsBadForU "we don't worship anyone " How do you have a "we" without a unifying belief system? "The only thing that atheists sometimes do is trying to reason and debate" - this is laughable, atheists support locking up and executing anyone who believes in a spirituality, as evidenced by the murder of millions of the religious in the USSR and China (where atheism was/is the law of the state).
@Huboons and btw I also comment and "attack" like you said other things too. I have low tolerance for stupidity, ignorance, oppression,bad politicians and a good example police attacking peaceful protesters(freedom oppression). And that is where you will find me debating or putting my two cents into a conversation.
@ItIsBadForU people don't know what they don't know. And they definitely won't know if they aren't shown. it doesn't have to do with religion, maybe there's more that you could learn about it.
@thegrandjew maybe. I never pass an opportunity to learn :) But what I've learned so far is what I know, but we'll see what life will teach me in the future. There is a finnish consept that we are taught at school called"lifelong learning"which we should treasure. Learning never stops even if you've graduated from college or university there is always more to learn and more to be educated. I yearn for information, but I critically evaluate that information and draw my own conclusions in the end.
@ItIsBadForU that's good to hear. American society is a bit different than in Finland. you guys are a much smaller country, highly industrialized, and have the infrastructure to move the population into skilled work. America is a big country, the guinea pig of industrialization, and we DON'T have the infrastructure. We have good universities but they're on the business model, meaning you pay thousands to go. And a lot of work here doesn't require education or benefit from it
@nimchimpskii dude don't even try correct my punctuation in order to uplift your intelligence. that was done on purpose. i have a 160iq so chances are im smarter than u. oh and if u want to correct any of my punctuation in this sentence need i remind u that there is something called slang.
@101LiquidNitrogen Lol, I agree dude. I hate it when I am debating with someone and misspell something and they use that against me. I'm like, wtf, this is youtube, so what if people misspell stuff?! It doesn't say anything bad about them. Just that they mistyped something. Keep up the smarts man.
Actually in my school we are very responsible nobody get lower then 80% and 90% it a really cool school there are no rules but we study so hard to make it the best scbool
This is EXACTLY how it was in my high school here in Arizona. I had to relearn everything on my own once I got out. I was very behind in math as well and had to take remedial classes in the local community college. I am ashamed, but I don't care how long it takes for me to learn everything I can in order to succeed. I am willing to spend countless hours studying in order to learn and earn my Master's Degree some day.
It's not money that we need, it's time we need. I get almost all As but the information is forgotten because I'm rushed. I need more time to process the information as permanent, not just something to pass a test. *sigh*
Stupid in America: yeah, you bet. This is why idiots take anything a neo-con like Stossel says seriously. I'll fix your problems very, very quickly.
1. Get rid of all school boards. So, you own a local pizza chain huh? Makes you think you should run for school board eh? Sit down and shut up, then go away.
2. Raise teacher salaries. Think you don't solve problems by throwing money at it? You're an idiot.
3. Elect people who support education instead of hating it.
You're right on with Number 2, there. The US spends more $ per pupil than any country except Denmark, Switzerland and Austria, but practically NONE of that $ is going to teachers!! Compared to other western nations, our teachers are HORRIBLY paid. Who can blame bright people from staying away from teaching? I have a feeling all of this money is winding up in the hands of all the corporations and contractors who hover around the education world.
not stupid but ignorant. not knowing something isnt being stupid its not knowing, being stupid is doing something you'r told it will kill you or harm you and you do it, thats stupid. have you seen the student? no uniforms? let me tell you, uniforms help for discipline and it lowers the status quo of who is "cool" and who is not cool because everyone is the same not having to worry about peer pressure much atleast. also a not boring teacher does make a difference.. i experienced it myself.
anyone know where John got the graph on the steps required to fire a bad teacher, i have been searching but i can not seem to find it and it would be great to have for my senior project any help would be great thank you
@ninjajesus81 Twice of 993 still isn't that good... I couldn't break into the 2000s. I'm not a genius, the people failing the SAT just can't read, the test isn't hard compared to IB/AP tests. The only challenge is not sleeping, which I have to say I couldn't care less about the test past section 4.
The Problem is that parents are too lazy to educate their kids and show them respect. That's why is it easier to blame the school system for their kids failures when the one responsible are the Parents.
these kids aren't learning anything, because they don't want to. they have found other things that they'd rather preoocupy their lives with. like popular culture, fashion, sports, restauraunts, drama, or maybe they live in an abusive situation, and their enviornment does not permit it. our society teaches them that they can get through life by just getting lucky, like the people in the movies.
our society spoils the young people by giving them rights, but not responsibilities.
I believe I can clarify: our culture is a culture of indulgence. these kids don't want to learn because they are being too heavily influenced by the media, tv, and the bad influence of bad rolemodels of the lower class. to be honest, it is many things. our culture tells these young folk endlessly of their rights, but does not expect anything out of them. and the even younger children are having the idea of "you're a winner no matter what" pumped into their heads.
there is no such thing as a bad teacher...its like saying there are bad Plumbers ...teaching is extremely easy...also education is only poor in bad neighborhoods..because of the SOCIAL DYSFUNCTION
@ninjajesus81 ...I grew up in a rough Neighborhood..and my family moved around alot and I have seen it all really...I have seen kids slap teachers and not get in trouble...I have seen teachers pull out a students ear ring and have him bleed on the floor...I have seen the worst of the worst....luckily I moved to a really good Neighborhood that actually had a Psychologically healthy population...and I will tell you something it is all about the family life ...and nothing else
@ninjajesus81 ...Teaching is probably the easiest job in the world...literally the job entails explaining a subject that you understand and have studied ...good neighborhood schools are great poor neighborhood schools are terrible....MEANING IT IS ONLY ABOUT THE (FAMILY LIFE)...I cannot stress that enough ...its all about the Psychological heath of a given population
this is not only concern to teachers,all we have to concerns parents,worry about their children.
where they hug with,who are their friends. make them feel love..

It's actually a great idea! The government gives each student money to pick their own private school of choice. Get rid of public school. With that system private schools will compete for students, rather then a socialist system in our public school that offers no competition for getting the students to be in their schools. Anything run by the government is a recipe for chaos.

Sounds like a bad idea. Here in Finland everyone attends a public school and were no. 1 in the PISA tests frequently. Its not bad if its run by the government as long as the government cares about it. Socialism isnt always bad. Infact capitalism isnt always good either. Capitalism tends to forget children are people and not statistics. You have to find a balance.

@kaganmatthew83 Yeah, you're right. Teachers need to be allowed explore other methods of teaching since the ones that are currently in place are not all that successful. By the way I think I saw that episode from bill maher you are speaking of he was pretty much on target with that argument :)

Parents can do a lot to help incite that in their kids, starting from a young age even.

And most kids are motivated by teachers who make the subject interesting like for example physics:it is dull, but if you say that the whole universe is open for exploration with physics it just works.

@ItIsBadForU Complete garbage. Some of the greatest inventions and discoveries in humanity were made by people of faith. The belief that for someone to be an "intellectual" or a "thinker" they must have no belief in the supernatural is a very close-minded belief. Very few people who believe in a religion believe it blindly, many have experienced events to lead them to belief. So get off your high horse, and let people think for themselves. An interesting aside, your spelling is atrocious.

A 993 on the SAT? That's less than half of my score... I didn't study at al...

@hippiebrother3 Don't you know? Everyone is a genius online. The average IQ of people online is 150.

@ninjajesus81 Twice of 993 still isn't that good... I couldn't break into the 2000s. I'm not a genius, the people failing the SAT just can't read, the test isn't hard compared to IB/AP tests. The only challenge is not sleeping, which I have to say I couldn't care less about the test past section 4.

The Problem is that parents are too lazy to educate their kids and show them respect. That's why is it easier to blame the school system for their kids failures when the one responsible are the Parents.

these kids aren't learning anything, because they don't want to. they have found other things that they'd rather preoocupy their lives with. like popular culture, fashion, sports, restauraunts, drama, or maybe they live in an abusive situation, and their enviornment does not permit it. our society teaches them that they can get through life by just getting lucky, like the people in the movies.
our society spoils the young people by giving them rights, but not responsibilities.

I believe I can clarify: our culture is a culture of indulgence. these kids don't want to learn because they are being too heavily influenced by the media, tv, and the bad influence of bad rolemodels of the lower class. to be honest, it is many things. our culture tells these young folk endlessly of their rights, but does not expect anything out of them. and the even younger children are having the idea of "you're a winner no matter what" pumped into their heads.
it's total bullshit.

there is no such thing as a bad teacher...its like saying there are bad Plumbers ...teaching is extremely easy...also education is only poor in bad neighborhoods..because of the SOCIAL DYSFUNCTION

@TheJasonDR No, there are bad teachers. Some just don't explain the material very well.
And there are bad plumbers too. Where are you getting this idea that everyone is good at their job?

@ninjajesus81 ...I grew up in a rough Neighborhood..and my family moved around alot and I have seen it all really...I have seen kids slap teachers and not get in trouble...I have seen teachers pull out a students ear ring and have him bleed on the floor...I have seen the worst of the worst....luckily I moved to a really good Neighborhood that actually had a Psychologically healthy population...and I will tell you something it is all about the family life ...and nothing else

@TheJasonDR Some teachers have students who consistently get bad grades in their class. A family life doesn't explain that.
You basically said that all teachers are good at their job. Plumbers too. You've yet to justify that statement.

@ninjajesus81 ...Teaching is probably the easiest job in the world...literally the job entails explaining a subject that you understand and have studied ...good neighborhood schools are great poor neighborhood schools are terrible....MEANING IT IS ONLY ABOUT THE (FAMILY LIFE)...I cannot stress that enough ...its all about the Psychological heath of a given population

@TheJasonDR Just because you know how to do something, doesn't mean you can explain how to do it to someone else.
Anne Sullivan taught a blind and deaf girl how to read and write. You're saying anyone who can read and write could have done that?
