  • As a public educator: the accountability is a joke...the way money is spent is a joke...and, more importantly: the students know it is a joke...and most of them are happy to play along because they are never shown a better option.

  • Love it! Keep up the good work Dr Brook!

  • Education!? The concept of public or private is window dressing. It is the skills of the instructor that trumps bureaucracy or institutional infatuation. That is, the art of developing a scholarly relationship between instructor and student that advances the state of one's enlightenment. For example, let me be the instructor, and you the student, by visiting my channel as an example of an effective tutelage concerning the true meaning of Individual Rights; hence, home or youtube education!?

    Norway's public university system is ranked the same as universities in Uganda. From 25 years ago when my stepfather went to school there, the high school system has become a JOKE (my private school, international baccalaureate math standard level, counts for 1 1/2 years of math in university there). The 'economic' mobility you claim exists doesn't. What does exist is an overactive social net to catch those who fail, regardless of the reasons why.

  • Privatized education exists around the world. The result is hopeless poverty for the poor and a lock on the wealthy controlling the nation (ex Brazil, India, Africa...) Where is public education working? Where is there economic mobility? Japan, China, Scandinavia, Germany, France...

    Why isn't it working in USA? Because we value the unreal (religion) above the real (science).

  • @astviskavon that's it? so if you knew the source, you would agree?

  • way to cite your sources. "a friend of a friend told me about this study in india". genius.
