[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought all the schools in England/western Europe were good? What makes some of the schools undesirable? Is it money? If so, why doesn't a rich country like England fix the problem? [/quote] They have an inspection body called OFSTED in the UK. They actively inspect an report on schools every couple of years. They get ranked, roughly as follows 1. Excellent 2. Good 3. Reasonable 4. Needing improvement 5. Disaster And they are given improvement plans in order to get a higher ranking / status and are expected to fulfill those plans, or they can in worst cases, be closed down. Cannot speak to the rest of Europe. I do know the French schools, the lycées are very tightly run by the French Gov't.[/quote]
