The reason why America ranks so low in global education is that American children are typically raised by the conservative idea that academics are not important and that you can get through life with just "common sense." A very blunt way of saying it, I know, but that's the connotation of the background. Anyway, that fact was true at one point, but the world is changing, and we must change with it. I will definitely raise my children to value their education, as it's one of the few things in life that comes free.

Except the fees you pay to your local school district. And your tax dollars that are allocated to the Department of Education. And the cost of tuition should your kids attend private school or university. And the fees for textbooks and school supplies. And whatever you choose to pay tutors. And the costs associated with America's standardized tests. And the application fees most schools charge. Other than that, it's totally free. <.<;

I didn't mean financially free. I mean free without real hardship. In America, if you fail a standardized test, the worst that can happen is you get held back a grade. In somewhere like China, if you fail a standardized test, you are taken from your family and sent to do manual labor for the rest of your life. THAT is what I meant by free. |

You always act like all the other countries want to destroy Canada. They don't because they would lose a major trading partner, and USA would attack India because we are allies. And they would be losing a lot Indian immigrants too. Same for a lot of countries.

That could be true, but that's not the worst that can happen in America. It's a domino effect that can very well turn out like your explanation for China. <.<

Justin Bieber came from Canada so everyone who doesn't like Justin Bieber hates Canada now.
I'm pretty sure we have some of the top colleges. And American kids survive in them so it's not THAT bad. |

That is also a very big problem. But IMO, caring too much about your education is better than not caring at all. Down here in the South, only a few parents will actually push their kids and try to motivate them; all the other parents just don't give a damn, and therefore the kids don't give a damn. Not saying it's right to put stress on your kids, of course. BTW, the education system itself is not very flawed. It's just the mindset of the students that ruins it. |

Honestly I think it's the pushing of work that causes that such info to happen in America.
I mean we get around 50 assignments or so it seems. They give us to much to stress over. -------------------------- And can we just stop with the whole nationalism bull****? It's becoming somewhat annoying.

Believe me, it's nothing compared to some schools in Northern Europe and Eastern Asia. And they have the best rated education in the world. Not saying it's a good thing to do that, but that's definitely not the problem. The reason why they do so much better than us with all that work is because they WANT it. Why do they want it? Because they CARE. If Americans would raise their children to value education more, we would become much more competent. |

Maybe. But there is other reasons why kid's don't like school. That are in school things and not parent raised ya stuff. Like bullies, bad teachers, in fact I have trouble learning because of how the teachers are teaching it at times.

I agree with the bullying part, because it has been proven that bullying does have an effect on education, but I'm iffy about the whole bad teacher thing. I mean, I KNOW that there are some bad teachers out there, but most kids down here use that as an excuse because they're too lazy. Of course, I'm not saying you are. My advice to you would be to seek a tutor of some sort. Not exactly saying for your parents to hire someone to help you, but really just anyone who knows what they're doing and who you think can help you better than the teachers. |

If you honestly feel this way, not only keep it to yourself, but channel that energy and join your country's military when you're old enough. Otherwise it comes across as plain obnoxious. And to all the people telling him to "GTFO," just keep it to yourself. You honestly wouldn't like it if people were telling you to get off the site, so just stop. >.>

Well there's those assholes that are for some reason in my IEP classes because of how much of dumbasses they are. I mean IEP is meant for those with disabilities. I don't see a mental disability on them. Unless if we count lazy, stupid, and racist as such. And with the economy I don't think any parent would hire a tutor. I think they'll just try to help their kid with the stuff. Though the problem with that is parents are not up to date with the finest knowledge. So it becomes more difficult because you can't rely on siblings, parents, and such. I think there should be more Study Skill classes, it's basically a class where your assignment is to do your homework. You get all the help you get from other students and teachers in the class. And if you finish all of your homework in that class you basically Scott free of homework for the day. Kind of why Study Skills is one of my favorite classes (of course thanks to my IEP it's a requirement really. But it's really useful).
