White Students No Longer Majority in Schools

This is the primary reason the US lags behind largely homogeneous wealthy countries in Europe and Asia.

There is no such "lag" occurring.

You would need to review American placement in a variety of socioeconomic indicators to understand what is happening globally.

Or maybe just look at the "indicator" that the US is still the world's largest, most influential, and important economy. You chose your words carelessly.

We are spending much capital on education, and yet our schools perform at mediocre levels.

And yet people from all over the world flock to our shores to study here.

Because we are still better then the third world shit holes they come from

True. Others from wealthier countries come here to improve their English, which is true of Britain and Australia as well. At university levels, the US does not lag.

He didn't indicate a metric. I'd find it entirely plausible that there is more social trust in Japan, less racial strife in Poland, less need to stomp on liberties in order to buy racial peace in Lithuania.

So, we're depending upon what we personally find Plausible?

The population is Japan, and most of Europe is dying. Death rates outnumber births.

This seems to be a particularly important characteristic where the USA does not "lag."

No, we're not finding our own definitions, we're acknowledging that your assumption of economic metrics was too restricted and was not implied by Meathead.

As to your concluding comment, let me get philosophical with you. If we magically transferred all 310 million Americans to Africa and simultaneously transferred 310 million Africans to America to take our place, would America still be America?

Given no metric, You "find it entirely plausible."

What, precisely is "it?"

I offer that "it" is the mortality rate in Japan, which would certainly not support the notion that the USA is "lagging," and you launch into some moronic hypothetical about Africans replacing Americans.

Focus.

So far, no one has proven there is any societal "lagging" from any external source. Why? Because the only critics are domestic, and their activity is primarily in their self interest: the longer and louder they perpetrate this myth, the more funding they receive.

White Students No Longer Majority in Schools

For the first time ever, U.S. public schools are projected this fall to have more minority students than non-Hispanic whites enrolled, a shift largely fueled by growth in the number of Hispanic children.

Non-Hispanic white students are still expected to be the largest racial group in the public schools this year at 49.8 percent. But the National Center for Education Statistics says minority students, when added together, will now make up the majority.

About one-quarter of the minority students are Hispanic, 15 percent are black and 5 percent are Asian and Pacific Islanders. Biracial students and Native Americans make up a smaller share of the minority student population.

Education Secretary Arne Duncan called the changing population a seminal moment in education. "We can't talk about other people's children. These are our children," he said.

This sucks. The report a few years ago said that we had 5 years before children under 18 becomes majority non-white clearly is wrong. Wrong because children pre-public school are even higher non-white percentages. Get ready for the shit to hit fan.

Chief case in point why America is not what she used to be. She stands wounded and weak as a result of its demise.

True. Others from wealthier countries come here to improve their English, which is true of Britain and Australia as well. At university levels, the US does not lag.

Students come here for more than just English, and they come in very large numbers even before the university level.

I already agreed that many come from shit holes. It is silly to think that a high school student would come to the US from Japan or Germany to get a superior education.

The American public system does not separate students by performance. Here, students are given tests for classification and send to schools based on that. Especially important are tests taken upon entry to high school. Those that do well are sent to schools which are essentially university prep. Others are sent to schools with less stringent curriculum. For students in cities the school can easily be across town. Students in the country have fewer options.

This serves to allow those who exceed to progress at a much faster pace while those who lag may attend classes in basic math, shop, car repair, food service and the like. Of course, this egalitarian abstraction which so dominates American thinking could never allow something so practical on a national scale.

It may seem "silly" to you because you are uninformed, but many students come here from both those and other developed countries for high school, if not earlier.

Not silly. More like Obvious.

Similarly, US kids do not come to Japan or Germany for a "superior education."

The entire arguement has nothing to do with the racial composition of US public schools. HS students visit other country's schools to become immersed in the country's culture, not to learn Algebra. In this respect the USA offers an amazing assortment: Even in the "Whitest" school, you may find Cubans, Russians, Vietnamese, Mexican, etc., etc. nationalities that the average Japanese quite probably has never encountered.

I'm not talking about a "visit," I'm talking about students who come here - sometimes part or all of their family moves here - to enroll starting at the middle school level if not earlier.

You and Unk are either stupid or deliberately obtuse. American kids do not go to school overseas unless their parent are very rich and can afford to send them to privates. US students rarely have a command of any foreign language and even if they did, they would even more rarely be able to local standards in anything but English language.

The US public education system is producing too many semi-literate nincompoops, especially as regards the money poured into it. Teachers, parents and a curriculum which emphasizes political correctness over practical education are all to blame.

I didn't say anything about American kids going overseas to study. Pay attention.

You don't seem to have much "command" of the English language yourself.

Parroting ideology seems to be the extent of your skill set.

Sadly, addressing the issue is not. I prescribe Quillivant, although Ritalin or Adderall may also be excellent choices for you. Consult your physician.

I'll let you make your doctor appointment. After you return perhaps you'll be able to formulate a cogent post.

Good Luck.

No , because to master the language you must be a petulant prick.

Then I guess you'll have to settle for being a semi-literate buffoon. Good luck with that.

Are you saying that "part or all" of a family moves to another fucking country so Johnny can learn how to .....what?

And you a petulant prick. Let's be honest, it is not English we're squabbling about. Rather, it is how much of a self-righteous bitch we can be. Your trump is very clear.

There isn't enough time or reason to pursue this.
