[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s mind boggling to me why education in US is so subpar compared to poorer countries like India or Russia. American teachers are as a majority very mediocre and are poorly educated themselves. DC is a selective state public magnet school and they teach to level to get a 3 in AP classes. They had to do a special class in 9th grade on punctuation and in 10th grade on how to use the ruler and protractor. They’re teaching chemistry with open book for every quiz and test. DC barely has homework in high school because the teachers don’t want to grade it. The bar is so low.[/quote] You're kidding right? There are no special needs kids or IEPs in Russian or Indian schools, they don't go to school or are institutionalized. Kids are kicked out for misbehavior and dumped from school to school. There is one language and way fewer non native speakers and the society is more homogenous. Russia is passing legislation that kids and parents of Caucasian republic immigrants need to speak Russian to go to school. They funnel boys to the army at 18. In India there are school fees and you pick the school based on what you can afford and it's one of the few ways out of desperate poverty. Those too poor don't go to school at all. [/quote] If US education is so good, why is the country full of idiots? [/quote] Republicans keep defunding schools. [/quote] 100% this.[/quote]
