[quote=Anonymous]Several posters have demonstrated here the US public education system is neither egalitarian nor equitable.  Neither is the US healthcare system for that matter.  Despite the fact, we spend vastly more than any other country on earth on public education and healthcare for worse outcomes.  In this respect, America is a global outlier and anathema.

"As for what might improve America's showing, the PISA assessment (in education) suggests there is no simple answer:

"[b]While the U.S. spends more per student than most countries, this does not translate into better performance. For example, the Slovak Republic, which spends around USD 53,000 per student, performs at the same level as the United States, which spends over USD 115,000 per student."[/b]

The reasons are simple say my 10-year-old boy:  we have an (pernicious and entrenched) apartheid system for funding and implementing US public education and public health ... out of the mouth of babes

Romney and his disciplines, who bootleg America's assets off shore and into their bank accounts while pretending to be "American", should take note as America continues to spend more and more  for less and less in the education and health of its countrymen.[/quote]
