A Nation In Crisis: America's Education System Is Broken

http://www.LearnToLearn.com Globalization has exploded the Information Age. Yet our education system isn't preparing our children for how to compete in the Global Economy. America is a nation in crisis. Did you know how little media attention this very real crisis receives?

Instead of teaching information that's quickly obsolete, teaching students how to take standardized IQ tests and achievement tests, labeling our children with learning disabilities and prescribing ADHD, ADD and Dyslexia medications, we should be celebrating and building the brainpower of each individual child.

Back to school is a nightmare for many parents - watching their child fall further behind - when we can identify learning weaknesses and FIX learning problems at the brain level. Brain fitness is the #1 competitive edge in the 21st century and our children's brainpower is America's future.

This new brain development science is both effective and affordable. Join the Learn To Learn Revolution - a Parents Revolution today. http://www.LearnToLearn.com

I think the problem is our pathetically slow and inefficient learning system. We waste the entire elementary school doing time tables and things nobody remembers or are reteached in middle and high school. Then, when middle school comes, they consider pre-algebra to be the super advanced maths. I mean, are you kidding me? It's only in high school when they finally begin taking advantage of your learning potential (and if you're taking advanced classes). But by then, it's been 9 years of waste.

I see this video was uploaded in 2008.

UPDATE:

TIME Magazine, October 2011. The USA ranks 51st in Science and Math education. I doubt your average American can even NAME 51 countries!

Oh well, you'd better learn to speak Mandarin (that's "Chinese" to most Americans but Chinese isn't actually a language).

OK I've said it but in fact I find it sad, the rest of the western world had big hopes for America to lead us in democracy and freedom but they've blown it and I blame religion and greed, sorry.

@IWantMyVisionBack In my school we attend it for eight hours and we still get time to study.

@rongenman You are so right. I mean, look how divorce rates are skyrocketing and more kids are being raised by one parent instead of two, and kids are having so many problems at home.

@XLnotsofunny If one of Shakespeare's plays was actually made into a tv show, I'd watch it not stupid Jersey Shore.

@daviddevall And please I'm South Asian and I bring really good test scores.

Use the metric system of conversion in schools. It's really easy to convert from m to mm.

@daviddevall Actually all they need is the SABIS system of learning.

@Zomwat In my school 9th graders can study 10 grade part 1 IGSCE biology without the aid of a teacher or classes and still score above 80%.

I like how the white supremecist doesn't even know that scientifically race doesn't exist.
