Less than 40% of the American population aged 25 and older have a Bachelor’s degree.

Except men without college degrees on average make less than women with college degrees.

Perhaps you mean men with skills (which actually does mean an associates degree or other training) make more then women with college degrees on average.

Thats different

Ireland, most Scandinavian countries, Japan, China, South Korea, Germany, India are just a few. If the public school system is so great, why are the majority of the posters here enrolling their kids in privates? Are they all prestige seekers?

Just to correct the record, the US ranks 28th in Math, 6th in reading and 10th in science.

Overall we are at 18 (though China cheats and only provides scores from private schools in Beijing and Shanghai).

We are actually ahead of Sweden, Belgium, France, Germany, Norway. Just behind Denmark…but yes behind Ireland, UK, South Korea and Japan.

India doesn’t seem to participate.

India participated once and their scores were so low they stopped participating.

“ The last time India took this assessment was in 2009 when it ranked 73rd, second-last to Kazakhstan, out of the 74 participating countries. Over 90 countries will participate in PISA 2025.”


If you break out performance across racial groups, the US looks pretty good. US Asians outperform every country out there, US whites are slightly behind Japan and ahead of South Korea and out score every European country out there. US Hispanics outscore every Hispanic country out there other than Spain, and American blacks did reasonably well, drastically outscoring majority black countries and scoring the same as Greece and Ukraine.

Honestly, the US has a good educational system, we’re simply dealing with very different student populations than the countries we’re compared with.

Give the stats on that. I bet you'll find you're talking out of your a$$.

There are a lot of articles recently in the news debating whether college is the best route for a lot of students. I don’t read them so I don’t know but it’s a legitimate question.

Based on one of those girls wearing nothing but a unitard made for the gym or dance class the girls must be upset about the lack of men and more competition.

That is not at all similar to the claim

Because college is, mostly, not a good deal. At all.

thank you for admitting you are talking completely out of your a$$.

It all comes down to a few generalizations.

1. Women are more interested and do better in educational settings.

2. Men have more career options, trades, military, etc that provide a better living than the non-college based jobs for women.

3. Women are no longer satisfied with traditionally female jobs that don’t require a college degree such as a receptionist or retail sales staff.

4. College provides a “greater” opportunity for upward economic/social mobility for women than men, the infamous Mrs degree.

This. But I would change it to heterosexual white Christian non-recruited-athlete. You almost never see them.

Video games and phones have replaced real human interaction. While it’s an issue for girls also, more of their free time activities involve other people, not just online.

Gentle parenting as well. Again, done for both genders but as I see it, expectations are lower for boys, which translates to laziness and lack of achievement.

How do you know the sexuality and religious preference of white males on campus? Seems to be profiling.

Agreed! Acting ultra-feminine doesn’t make them homosexual.
