[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Many of your points are antithetical to the fundamental conception of public school in America which is core to our democracy. Sure it's a mess, but the alternative is entrenched class systems.

They don't have that problem in Japan or Europe.

Seriously?  You think Japan and Europe don't have a class system?  FYI, they do.

And, FWIW, it is much less mobile than ours.[/quote]

Having lived in Japan, the spread between rich and poor is much closer than it is in the USA. Strangely if there was ever a place where communism would work, it would be in Japan.

The concerns of the Japanese school system is to raise someone to be Japanese.  Companies provide a ton of on the job training, and students don't learn much in college.  Students prep like heck for admission to top high schools and colleges, but companies there care less about your degree. They care where you went, and will then train them to be whatever cog they need.

Japan and Europe have no issue with tracking at all, and less issues with trying to pull everyone up. Japan's issues with immigration are completely the opposite of our own.[/quote]
