This is absurd as is paying benefits to school administrators who took us from number 3 in the world to number 25 in education.
First of all, your numbers are nonsense; you are comparing apples and oranges. We educate all the students; other countries educate the elite only.
Secondly, if you want to bitch about low scores, find the parents of those who score low. There is the problem.
The parents do not make the students work, they do not value--truly value--the free education that their children receive. They whine if the students get homework; they whine if the teachers and administrators correct their special little angels; they whine unless their students get A grades for C- work.
You want to tell those parents that they are failing their children? Get right on the job, Grammy. That is the real problem in education in America.
Pogo said it: "We have met the enemy, and the enemy is us."
If you want to do more than bitch, sign up to tutor a student after school. Within a week, you will see what is really the problem in education. The student you volunteer to help will not show up for study sessions.
