Capitalism Educated

[SayMyName]

It costs the taxpayers in America on average 250K to educate modestly one classroom of students, the majority of whom are not ready for the world of work.

Yet, the same money can educate 1000 asian children ready to compete in our markets for the same expense.

If we are the nation of liberty and free enterprise, which way should we be leaning? And, what does it say about our education institiutions?

 

[psikeyhackr]

Yeah, you are not supposed to learn things because you are curious and want to understand reality. You are supposed to learn in order to compete.

Compete for what? Make money to buy cars designed to become obsolete? But if you are educated don't you know that planned obsolescence must be going on in cars.

Look at WWII airplanes, like the P-51 Mustang, the P-38 Lightning. Didn't they have to know mechanical engineering and aerodynaminc to make those machine 25 years before the Moon landing without electronic computers? So why are we supposed to give a damn about cars because they keep changing them 43 years after the Moon landing?

Yeah, compete over bullsh#!

Here is the reason to buy a car:

Read some decent sci-fi with good science.

China is not a nation of entitlements. They are motivated to get an education at all costs.....do well and secede.. A far cry from their US counter parts.

China's teachers are also not union workers...so the same money goes farther.

That VW teaser for the Superbowl is so much better that the crap Deutsch ran during the game itself.

Money does not equal a good education. You can put a man through school but you can't make him think.

I like the Volkswagen Star Wars commercials.

But they would not get me to buy their car. 43 years after the Moon landing and they keep redesigning stuff that rolls along the ground at less than 130 mph. How many billions are wasted on useless variations as part of the marketing strategy?

Are our schools supposed to turn out people too dumb to figure that out?

Is it the schools, our culture, both? One only needs to read on Japanese culture and their system of education and see a big difference, yet if we imported Japanse schools to America would we see a huge change in our young people? Perhaps a higher dropout rate would be the result. If we kept our educational system and imported Japanese students would their be a change?
We would love to pin the responsiblity of education, or lack thereof, on teachers, schools, teacher-unions, and for the most part the responsiblity lies on us, we have Americanized our children.

 

[ThinkCritically]

I'll say this much....

CULTURE is underrated. Asian will F-ing beat their kids if they do poorly. Not all of them, but many. I'm not sure what parents do with their kids here, depends on the culture of the community i suppose. The psychological pressure of competing with 7 or 8 times the number of people in your community really amps up the pressure to do well in school. Additionally, they are academically more competitive than us because the labor market is so much more competitive than ours.

Sounds like culture is everything.

 

[blimpo]

Culture is everything.

Our "mall mentality" has raised some excellent shoppers, but not scholars.

I have a friend that now teaches in Japan and he says he would never consider teaching here again.

He says when he tells the class he must be absent the next day, kids run to him and try to talk him into not missing because they are afraid there will be an interruption in their learning.

Over here, our kids see a sub and yell "party!" and try to drive the sub out in tears.

We should feel proud...

we used to have the best schools right up until the republican party desided they were the grover norquist party

 

[tomrider]

You know that I have seen a lot recently a few people wearing T-shirts bearing the faces of prominent socialists, I think it is very disturbing.Everywhere my class envy, is promoting. In our world. "Finger pointing to the rich would like to take this opportunity to express to you why I believe that capitalism is the most unquestionable once, which is why we should do everything in their power to keep the Freedom Road.

 

[squeeze berry]

our schools are not that bad, it's the lack of realistic approach to education.

1. college for all.
2. lack of a well developed vocational school system
3. legislation that has no connection to the reality of what needs to be done in a school, including IDEA
4. frivilous law suits that make staff afraid to do what needs to be done
5. uninvolved parents or parents that are involved only to bully the teachers
6. inability to throw out the bad seeds
7. being expected to cure MR/ autism and make collge material out of dull normal students


did I miss anyhing Chanel, Blimpo, editec and the rest that actually have a friggin clue?

this is a bi-partisan issue

In China education even into college is paid for by the state. We should have that here. In China everyone is in the union, it is a requirement under communism.
Ask Wal-Mart, if they were to operate there the people working are unionized. Wal Mart bit the bullet and allowed unions.
Women and men earn the same.

 

[eflatminor]

...what does it say about our education institiutions?

It says that our education institutions are poisoned by government meddling. The markets in which government meddles most (such as healthcare, insurance, and education) see increasingly poor results and skyrocketing costs, well above the normal rate of inflation. This is not surprising at all. It's what happens when you suppress competition, choice, and the consequences of failure.

But not to worry, your nanny state dear leaders know what's best for you. If only they could get just a few more laws past, just a bit more funding...everything would be sunshine and rainbows...

 

[whitehall]

Capitalism? Capitalism isn't even promoted in schools. The only thing US students excel in is pop-culture and self esteem. I bet the union organized public school teachers are the highest paid in the world and have the best benefit package and retirement system. Solution? Cut out the bloated Dept/ed federal bureaucracy and then figure out teaching priorities that don't involve a condom on a banana.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

We need to eliminate the Federal Department of Education, Criminalize the UFT, and totally privatize education turning back over to communities.

The Liberal takeover of our educational system has been a failure-- and an intentional one at that
