Sorry but in Europe and Canada where I am from we have system with many private companies operating schools. You can not deny the fact these nations crush the USA in education results. Your schools are not underfunded by a long shot, it isn't a manufactured crises. I am not even 30, we didn't even have white paper when I was in school, yet somehow I was able to learn. No ammount of money will fix what is wrong with your system. Also your nation doesn't have money to spend if it wanted to.

I'm agnostic so I have no dog in the fight, but parochial schools in Illinois outperform public schools easily. They use less $ per student to do so. There is something they are doing that is different. Ana, the current situation does not work and it is not about underfunding because we spend plenty. Time to try whatever may work.

Americans aren't well educated anyway... We need America to go bankrupt before they learn their lesson...

A cctv system in every classroom viewable from the principles office with a competent principle would fix that.
Poptartza Says:
The problem is how to grade good and bad performance. What if a teacher gets a class full of students who don't care about there education and never do any work? It's not the teacher's fault then.
cutwagman Says:
Anna suggests a community college is better than Harvard and MIT because they are cheaper then she rolls her eyes as if to say why do expencive colleges exist. Seriously Anna? Really?
mangeloz Says:
& despite all this & the talking points pushed by private school advocates. Major studies comparing private & public education indicate that students do not recieve better education at private schools. Their education levels rank consistenly the same. & this is despite the fact that a lot of our public schools systems are in poor shape in many instances dut to purposeful neglect cutting of fundind/resourcees and/or reallocation of resources.
mangeloz Says:
Part of their efforts to starve public schools of resources is to have students & those resources sent to their private schools. They send there PR ppl to promote their agenda while simultaneously sending their attack dogs to demonize teachers, unions & public schools all over the airwaves (i.e Michelle Rhee) They do intense lobbying & advertising. They have everything scripted out. Its how they're plans have met such success over the past yrs.
mangeloz Says:
In order to convince the public to allow these billionaires Corporations to take over our schools, they rig our schools to fail. They achieve this by controlling politicians to starve the school of resources, to underpay & demonize teachers so less of them want join such a hostile environment that does not pay enough. By busting teachers unions since they are the only major threat to this scheme & ending tenure so teachers are no longer protected from speaking out. Its a manufactured crisis
mangeloz Says:
alright stop the lies, public schools have demonstrated to be very sucessful. The no.1 ranked education system is in Sweden & its public. Public schools work in America when they are taken care of. For example in the 60's we ranked consistently top in education, but since then it has fell thru the cracks. largely in part by a massive attempt on the part of several billionaires, their think tanks & minions to commoditize and privatize the public school system.
rh001YT Says:
Many attempts have been made to fix public schools, but the fixes are often worse that what they try to fix. Big Government is inefficient and causes bureacracy - exactly the opposite of what is needed in schools. Private schools do well because they are free-market enterprises - they have to perform or else. Allowing companies to use public money to run schools will probably work, as long as Big Gov keeps its nose out, and the parents and students get to choose, acting as the free market.

Having used the system for so many years I gues I'm a bit jaded. I tend to forget the days it runs ok and only remember the really bad times. Still, it is way too expensive. Glad you had a nice experience with it when you were here though.

Interesting. I've been to the UK and I didn't find it that bad, but then I was only visiting. I'll take your word for it. I'm all for better anything is this world
DrQuijano Says:
I wish there were a study about it, but there is none. I know they do it because I have seen 3 schools in Texas and 4 schools in Puerto Rico turn charter and do this, and I have heard from close colleagues from SUNNY and UC faculty of education how in there the trend is also turn schools into charters, fire experienced teachers, replace them with fresh graduates, and replace them when they hit the raise mark in the pay scale with new fresh grads regardless of efficiency.
