Education is a multiplier of intelligence, and when intelligence is lacking it does not do much good. Someone with an IQ of 85 can benefit from going through elementary school, with an IQ of 100 from going to high school, and 115 from going to college.
I guarantee that spending much, much more money on education, and especially on experts in the economics of education, will produce much more impressive results!
Don’t people have basically the same IQ’s everywhere?
High schoolers are graduated with next to nothing of an understanding of the USA, our history, how to vote ... they don't even know if they are democraT or republican ....
And the ones you meet at the cash register will tell you (if you ask) .. "I don't vote"
The blue collar graduates (if they DO get a good job) will tell you they're too busy
girls don't know how to cook because there is no real home ec and the ones that go off to college spend the first year in remedial reading and english .... while getting drunk
IF, in the first three grades, we'd concentrate ONLY on alphabet, phonics, reading and basic English ... and FORGET all the green crap .... our kids would have a blast enjoyng a real education ... if, of course there were TEACHERS and not successful job applicants.

Nevermind “world” education; the question is, why does education right here in America stink so badly?
Africans can’t feed themselves - or create a sane society... but they do know how to make wars, bombs, and guilt trips that con the UN into giving them more money.
Whatever we’re spending over there is not working. It’s not working any more than the millions we spend in ‘education’ for Baltimore. It’s time to put some thought into how we ‘help’ people. And less thought into ‘how we feel about ourselves for being so liberally wonderful’... Cause it ain’t working...
