Stupid in America Part 3 of 6

http://commonsensecapitalism.blogspot.com

If a monopoly is not good for industries like oil, retail, etc, then why is it good for K-12 education. John Stossel examines how lack of competition in education is hurting our kids, and areas where education is competing and helping. This video presentation will be discussed in the June 28, 2010 edition of Common Sense Capitalism.

Here we see Belgian HS kids speaking perfect English. I rather expect that they have at least one more language besides thier home language. That is the case almost everywhere in Europe. Even many Canadian Kids are bilingual.

Take a listen to the woman @ 3:34 and look @ how appalling she was to know the US education system. Don't try to call her names. She is quite right to be appalled.

Unfortunately.. if something good doesn't happen to America's education... The stupidity will fester and circulate, until America is dead last in the international test scores... Its really saddening.. kinda wish i could move to finland... i think they were #1 in education, according to the list in the first video

I am appalled at the public school system. I was home schooled and never knew how bad the traditional system was and still is. I understand why they don't want kids to be home schooled. We are outperforming them academically. It is very embarrassing when other countries are laughing at us! I hope other people will start home schooling. There are a wealth of resources on the web to help those interested in home schooling. HSLDA will help anyone with state requirements and any other issues.

Glad my school was nothing like the ones I'm seeing right now.

Wow. I'm mind boggled at this. What the hell! I knew the U.S. was pretty stupid (I was born and raised here so don't give me crap about that) but this is just phenomenal! When I eventually start a family, I'm getting the hell out of this shithole people call "a great country". It's nothing but a monopoly with stupid ignorant people who are mostly consumer whores. I am ashamed to live here right now. Utterly ashamed.

wow you guyz in the US have so much "freedom"

[outterspaces]

@cmarshall497 Not quite true. The reason why other countries think like that is mostly because you guys think the same for those countries.. I mean come on.. even in this video Czech Republic and Poland were called poor, even though they are not so much and they are 2 of the most beautiful countries in Europe. The point is Americans are not stupid but ignorant and love to remind other nations' problems constantly while ignoring their own backyard. I like the US though.
