China Beating us Again?

You did not answer the question

We have a half century of results to prove me right. When you spend ten times more and more than that and still get the same results for the dollar than it is a failure.

Dumb is throwing money at schools and not getting results. Wealth or savings does not matter as much as inefficient spending and allocation of resources.

Teacher safety, student safety, student aptitudes in Math, Science, Reading - these are all challenges yet the priorities are DEI, Restorative Justice, and Bloated Bureaucracies.

Come to think of it, if I were Trump, I wouldn’t cut funding. I would mandate redirecting of funding towards more security, more tutoring, less bureaucracy.

Why do you think vouchers are so attractive to low income parents in poor school districts? Because their local schools are failing them.

I agree with that statement,

US government and 17 states sue Amazon in landmark monopoly case​

The US government and 17 states are suing Amazon in a landmark monopoly case reflecting years of allegations that the e-commerce giant abused its economic dominance and harmed fair competition.

I use them as I need them (don't need them much) but I can afford to use them. Nonetheless, this is not a question for one person but for the nation as a whole.

Are we a better nation by feeding the rich and taking from the poor? Will this generate progress or regression for the nation?

Morally it is wrong and we were once known as the symbol of morality. We are losing that symbol and we may end up (in 4 years) as the symbol for Authoritarianism.

Money (not respect, caring, love, morals, ethics, principles and humanity) is becoming our God.

What should be done is correcting the problem. What Trump is doing is getting rid of the problem, no matter the consequences of the negatives that it will cause to our education system.

It is like getting rid of the plumbing in the house because there is a leak, and saying "live with no plumbing or live with whatever plumbing you personally can build"

Is the plumbing getting cut or are the owners of the house being forced to prioritize allocated funding?

wrong question

the house was just bought by the new owners and it is they that are getting rid of the plumbing because it is leaking and they do not want to allocate "any" of their funds to fix it.

In China, 7th graders are immersed in our University level advanced mathematics.

In the USA, Democrats OUTLAWED math in public schools as "racist" and "divisive"

I was reading from an article a year or so ago, that mentioned a poll that showed in China, most school kids want to be an astronaut, while American school kids want to become a social media influencer.
We are so screwed.

We are all born with genes that are different. We didn't choose them, they were given to us. That makes some of us more talented and with greater ability and some with no talent and no ability. In addition, the pocketbooks of our parents, as well as where we live and the living conditions there, give us more ability or less. We also have no control of that.

Nonetheless, we are all Americans and as such (and to keep our nation together as ONE nation), we need to work together, which means the more talented and with more ability need to give more to make up for the people with less. Otherwise, we are NOT A NATION but a land with millions of individual islands with each island a nation on to itself.

If the latter is the case, each island should provide all services for themselves (education, energy, food, etc.)

I 1,000% agree with you, on paper. In reality, it doesn't work. I've said many times on here that the best system to have on paper is Socialism. But in reality and as history shows, it doesn't work. Why? It relies on people being honest.

 

[luiza]

so, a dumber America supports a wealthier America, right?

Why not?
Worms support Song birds as long as you make sure there is always an adequate supply of Worms .
Although , perhaps you are weirder than we think and prefer Worms .

And the US has been an Oligarchy for at least twenty years .
But good to see you waking up at last .

 

[Captain Caveman]

Luckyone try your best to help America and buy Made in America products where you can. Like you said, if everyone works together as a nation.

Again? What do you mean "again"?

As per your analogy, I take it “plumbing” is supposed to be any and all schools and the Department of Education? Please direct me to where any and all Federal funding towards schools is going to get cut?

 

[g5000]

I’m sure Trump and team have reviewed School funding from the Federal Government

Trump hasn't even read a book. Ever.

Trump funding freeze could disrupt education, housing, disaster aid​

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -President Donald Trump's White House ordered a pause in all federal grants and loans starting on Tuesday, a sweeping decision that could disrupt education, health care and food programs, housing assistance, disaster relief and a host of other initiatives that depend on trillions of federal dollars.

Sooooo...education went down the toilet in just the past four years.

Mmkay.

Actually, the failure of our education system has been going on for decades, through Republican and Democratic adminstrations.

And it has fuck-all to do with this new bullshit "anti-DEI" token you idiots have been given.

If anything, you are demonstrating just how stupid YOU have become,.

America is falling behind because we are not teaching the jobs of tomorrow. We are still teaching our kids to be prepared for jobs which no longer exist.

Also, the New Right is against education. They stand in the way, banning books, running to and fro foaming at the mouth at the latest bullshit their fearmongering idols have inculcated in them.

This is how stupid you people are: You think negroes and homos and Hispanics are the problem.

YOU are the problem.
