In Obama's news conference he stressed the importance of providing the education America needs to compete in the 21st century. This comes on the news that US students ranked 14th in reading, 17th in science, 25th in math. South Korea, Finland. Singapore, China and Canada are not only kicking our ass in the trade war but are insuring their future success by better educating their kids.
In order to reduce budgets a number of states are:
. Cutting AP (Advanced Placement) classes. These are the classes that provide advanced education in Math, Science, Economics, and Languages, to our brightest students.
. Class sizes are rising throughout the country.
. College tuition is rising. The tuition at USC this year is over $40,000 bringing the cost of a 4 year education to over $200,000. How many American families can afford this?
If America's future depends on how well we train our kids to compete in tomorrow's world, we are in big trouble.
3. So why was there not more class conflict over these gaps in wealth and power?
a. Poorer whites hoped to become planters and assumed they could with hard work, despite evidence to the contrary.
b. White leaders played the race card--told poor whites they may be poor but at least they weren't black.
I have personal observation. Your refusal to accept it is immaterial.Last time we were on top of the education pile the top tax braket was in the 80s to 90s
Correlation does not imply causation. Education started going downhill when we taught kids that their feelings are more important than their test scores.
Speaking of correlation, I suppose you have a scientific study to back up your bullshit?? LMAO!!
The people who "know" got us into the situation we're in now.Maybe we should face the reality of the situation blatantly evident on this thread.
American children are just ignorant fucks, and the people who should know why are too ignorant at this point in time, are too stupid to figure it out. Kind of like Intellectual regression of the human species in America. Apparently we are even too fucking dumb to ask for help from people who do know.
Want to improve education? Simple. Don't need an increase in budget or salaries, don't need a decrease in class size. The parents make it happen. If they don't, I don't care who says what, the scores will not remain competitive with the rest of the world. Education started going downhill when parents stopped putting their boots up their kids' asses for not striving their utmost.

"News that the Justice Department has filed a lawsuit against Swiss banking giant UBS is just the latest chapter in the curious case of Phil Gramm. Just one day after UBS agreed to pay a $780 million criminal fine and admitted to conspiring to defraud the IRS, the DOJ demanded access to 52,000 accounts as part of its broad tax evasion probe. Which is more than just a little ironic. After all, before he became a UBS vice-chairman in 2002, then Senator Phil Gramm helped lead the 1990's Republican war to gut the Internal Revenue Service."
What's stopping your from donating your own money?Don't make the schools richer...help make those FAMILIES from which they draw their students richer.

What's stopping you from donating your own money?daveman, you are part of the social compact. You don't get to drop out, and your responsibilities are defined by societal expectations. You just can't be Shane riding off into the sunset.
About all most parents can do is to encourage their kids to do well in school and see they do their home work.If the parents do their job, I assure you the schools will do what they are supposed to, because the parents are going to be in the middle of it: taking responsibility for themselves as parents, and ensuring the school personnel and resources 'best practices' are being done.

We going to have to have better trained teachers and lot more of them. Classes sizes need to be reduced.
Kids are going to have spend a lot more time in classrooms and schools have to be more completive.

If we going to be leaders in 21st century, it's go take a lot more than parents telling Johnny to do his home work. We going to have to have better trained teachers and lot more of them.
