[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Schools are extremely well funded here and yet even the very best schools are only just fine (and the bad schools are so bad they look more like jobs programs for their employees than places for kids to learn). [/quote] Schools are decently funded, not well. Just because we spend a lot per pupil does not mean we are well funded. Salaries in general are higher here, this every teacher, social worker, music teacher, etc. costs more. If you want better schools you should look at how the countries getting results teach. Students actually have LESS hours of direct instruction and both students AND teachers spend more time collaborating with peers. However here in US for some reason more is ‘better’ and teaching has also become babysitting. If your child is disruptive in other countries it’s not as acceptable as it is here. [/quote]
