[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In order for a European model to work here, we would need federal not local control of schools and their standards, beginning at kindergarten. That will not happen in the US - our model is too States-centric for that. In Europe, national not local standards prevail. It’s akin to the social compact in many European countries regarding pensions and health care - they “work” (although Americans who are used to private health insurance would possibly not like the standards of care) because certain truisms are at play: everyone is employed, and works until age 65. You have to start at the ground up, not layer on top. [/quote] You cannot just lump all of Europe together. Each has its own different way of doing things. Yes in education just like in health insurance. It just leads to statements that are wrong and misleading. [/quote]
