Maybe we could focus on test scores if everybody didn't get an A in every class.

My DS has had his first year at a 'good' American high school. The standards are shockingly low. No essays at all in his junior year. Work that's not turned in gets a 50% grade. Sloppily written multiple choice questions. Kids basically just have to turn up to get an A. Why aren't we challenging our students?

That is very true. That’s why the kids who succeed are the ones that have moms who supplemented or can afford to pay for tutors and test prep.

American education is pretty bad.[/quote]

I’m a product of American public education, granted I’m 51 and didn’t grow up with morons banning books and fighting curriculum, but I totally disagree. America has some of the most creative people and is the bellwether for technology. Yes, we have Silicon Valley but we also have all the defense engineers who have built phenomenal military technology that no other country can compete with! I know it’s fashionable for both liberal and conservatives to bash American education but you’re wrong.[/quote]
