Government education works in every other nation... why not here?

[LJ_Reloaded]

Perhaps the problem isn't government-run schools?

What is it? Too many women?

Nope. More than likely the problem is Republican interference.

American stupidity? Perhaps our lack of credible threats has made us soft the same way Australian animals can't even handle bunnies being introduced to their enviroment.

Not enough predators. Right now in our neighborhood the bunnies are eating our grass and flowers. Why? Because animal control has almost completely wiped out the coyotes and bobcats. Also, the coyotes and bobcats now feast on my neighbors cats so they don't have to chase those wascally wabbits. They let the cats out at night and wonder why they don't come back.

I say we start breeding giant tigers and releasing them into metropolitan areas. If we can make glow in the dark bunnies we can surely make killer kangaroos.

LJ cracks me up as he is the ultimate failure however we have to give that jackass some credit as he keeps on trying the same thing over and over again and over again, yet the dipshit keeps expecting different results.

I'm not even sure LJ/LT could get a job at McDonalds as one has to have skills in order to flip a burger.

Don't worry, it won't be long before we have robots flipping burgers. It's not like it's a complex job. I hope you're around to watch your philosophy starve your children. It'll be worth the yucks.

College graduates should not have to live out their 20s in
their childhood bedrooms, staring up at fading Obama posters and
wondering when they can move out and get going with life.

Parents!!!!!

It's all those "School is free babysitting, and I don't give a fuck how my kid's doing. It's YOUR fault that Johnny and Jenny can't read, not mine because I never taught them to read nor do I encourge them to do it."

No they shouldn't. However it's not Obama's fault in the least.

the real issue is that Obama is so busy giving stuff away for free, including a free ride to college, that Obama seems to have forgotten that kids need jobs after they graduate.

Why does Obama hate the free market and private sector? is it because he failed in his early years?

What the fuck?!

It's HIS job to educate YOUR children? Wait? So it's HIS job to find jobs for your lazy ass graduate, taking philosophy, English, Art?

There are freaking engineering and tech jobs all over the country!!! Why aren't Americans taking them? Because people LIKE YOU are blaming the president for something YOU should have been doing: EDUCATING your child to be good in math and science!!!!

The OP was about why our schools are not the best in the world, and you've come in the whine about the president!! Time to see who REALLY is the problem: Obstructionist GOPs in Congress and their filibusters!!!!! FUCK!!!!!

The title of the thread is a false statement.

Government education does NOT work in EVERY other nation. It works in some. It works better in some than in others. It works far worse than in the US in a large number of countries.

One of the most significant variables in children's educational achievement is parental expectation and involvement in their child's education, no matter what system of education is used.

And in the US, the parents have abandoned being a MAJOR rule in their children's education.

Well with our shit wages there aren't a lot of stay at home parents these days to help on that front.

Not an exuse, my parents both worked yet MADE time to be in three children's educations!!

WTF?

its Obama's job to get the economy moving and not to be playing so much golf. What has Obama done for the economy?

I can wait ....

It's CONGRESS' job to make legislation that will help, not to obstruct, not to waste time on being spoiled brats, pouting because their candidate didn't win!!!

Boehner has had ample time to introduce his own job bills...oh wait, he hasn't even STARTED yet!!!

Yeah, the president is the problem!

And where are YOUR suggestions to help end the poor state of PUBLIC education in this country? Blaming the president is NOT a way to better education!!!!!

Just because your parents managed it doesn't mean everybody's can. I barely SAW my parents (during the week) growing up. My dad dropped me off for school in the morning and half the time I was asleep by the time either of them got home from work.

It also doesn't help that a lot of parents didn't go to college and haven't retained a lot of the skills from school and thus can't help but so much. You know how many times I've had to find out the circumfrance of something or measured a flag pole by measuring a shadow and a string tied to the top since graduating from high school? I'll give ya three guesses and the first two don't count. I'm not denying parents have a place in education and an important one I'm saying your over simplifying.

Have you MET Jenbot 9000?

Pisses me off when people blame the president over their own failures. Locally, there are TONS of technology jobs, more to come, yet they're taken by Indians, Paskistanis, etc.

as I said before, Obama needs to sell them as clearly Congress isn't working. it IS Obama's job to be a cheerleader and be out there embarrassing congress till they work.

Obama is a problem, he's a failure

If Obama was the CEO of GE, well he would be fired

It's not.

It's because your school children are being taught by Americans.
