Math and science is responsible for ALL the tech we have, and with the decline in advancements coming from the US this isn't surprising at all.

The primary reason I spend the extra money to send my kids to private schools is so I have more control over my children's education. If public school kids were allowed in (with vouchers, for example), there would be no point in sending them to private schools. If that happened, I would probably opt for home-schooling.
I disagree. I've seen a great deal of flexibility and creativity from my kids' teachers over the years, and while it is true that some schools do teach to the test (particularly here, in Florida), it is also true that what is being tested is basic literacy skills that every student needs. Without those basic literacy skills, it's difficult to give kids critical thinking skills. That's why our math scores have actually gone up, comparatively speaking. I heard that yesterday on NPR, in fact.
thats exactly the point that unravels almost the entire argument of those who propose private schools will become some kind of educational panacea. THEN, would the public be expected to pay tuition to parents who decide to homeschool their kids after a private school failure?
xsited should really stop making sense. It's screwing up southpaw's argument.
Okay, I got few a GREAT cleaning solutions for you, they will get rid of all the germs and grime with ease. The best one is mixing hydrogen-peroxide with bleach.
What's that supposed to do, explode or something? Whatever I guess it's hilarious to make fun of me today.

Even in the 1980s, I had to hire foreigners to fill technical positions in R&D because there weren't any qualified Americans. It's gotten worse since then with no improvement in sight.
though you did prove that you need to go back to school.
That's your view.
My complaint against public schools is that they are not held to a high enough standard. I don't really care which kids are going there or not. I think that if schools were put in the hands of private companies and given goals to meet, the competition would be much higher because, as opposed to now, companies that no longer performed would not keep their contracts and companies that did well could keep them.
Costs would decrease and performance would increase.
Wow I proved what I've already said a dozen times. This day just gets better and better.
HO + Chlorine (Bleach and hydrogen-peroxide, both common household cleaners) creates chlorine gas, which kills you if you inhale it.
Right. Which is why I just assumed you thought it would be funny to have me mix something that could kill me. What hoot that would be.
We've been behind for a long time. I assign blame to 'new, new math' and the 'intelligent design' quandry.
The whole 'new math' crap is certainly part of it, the 'intelligent design' has only one flaw, it's not science by legend and myth, the problem is the exclusion of proven sciences in it's place that slows things down. It's teaching kids not to ask questions and making them fall short in expanding their learning.
Good inferences. You get an A.

Are you trying to kill her?
The new new math is SERIOUSLY buggered. I was trying to help my son with it this year (he's in 5th grade), and it TOTALLY kicked my ass.
They should seriously go back to memorization.
