America's Education is FAILING! Blame the teachers?

America is facing an education crisis. It's been made painfully clear that American students may not be able to compete on a global level. But who is to blame for these discrepancies? The rhetoric used in the past few years has been harsh on teachers. A common idea is that if a student is not performing and is not achieving the standards then it is the teachers fault. This may in part be true, but like every other social ill this country is facing, education is a multifaceted problem. This video is a commentary on the lack of focus on some other factors that affect achievement in the classroom.

@blindedbyforce: any logical person wouldn't expect a parent to be a good role model?  That's interesting...

My first student at the age of 5 who just started her K1. Can solve all these: 500-389 / 798+179 / 56X25 / 2 4/7 + 1 1/14 her grade level at that time was 4.7 grade level. Possible? Was she a brilliant child? No! She was just like everyone else! I have repeated that again & again to other kids as a volunteer in a public school & everyone who I've in contact with manage to solve with me with great results! Sometimes, in minutes they start solving w/ me. Imagine if we all do that!

Middle & h.s. students who are straggling are the product of our elementary kids who did struggle during those early years! If we fail our elementary kids then what do we expect from them in middle and h.s.? Everybody must concentrate in our elem. kids. Did you know that Kindergartens and 1st graders can start multiplying? Did you know that 3rd graders are having difficulty multiplying? It is a simple solution! Those above questions are all true! Q: How can we teach that young?

As a volunteer in a public school. I didn't ask my students if they were taught by their parents at home. I grabbed a marker; start teaching those kids who can't solve their basic elem math & after1-2 hrs later they all start solving w/ me. I mean ALL of them! Nothing is wrong w/ their parents. How did I teach those kids? My answer? One word TEACH! Teachers go to youtube..channel .. lionking4277.. it's free! If you don't like it! Trash it!
