BF2S Forums America's stupidity problem explained.

didn't bother to click on your links, but the two main problems are the teachers unions (making it impossible to hire and fire based on performance, instead you have to pay according to "tenure" no matter how bad the performance is), and the fact that they're government run, completely eliminating any competition to improve performance whatsoever, you can still provide free education to all individuals through federally and state funding of schools run by private organizations/companies, but the whole corporate darwinism thing will go into effect, making those schools compete for more students, and in turn earn more of the government dollars

when are your schools going to start working on those social skills?

Wow, that's some pretty bold statements Ricardo. It is somewhat like me saying that the English are arrogant and have really bad teeth. Aren't there any dentists in England?

Actually it isn't anything like that. Perhaps if you could find a site that said that so many percent of the British/English had bad teeth, and then you could find something saying that arrogance was linked to bad teeth, then you would be right, however that isn't the case.

As far as I can tell, it's just a semi joking post; I don't think he really believes that. They are just too things that appear to be related, but that doesn't mean thats the case; more likely to do with crap schools. (from what I have heard)
