Not only is that wrong but it is probably one of the most presumptuous and incorrect things I have ever heard. You probably have the lowest IQ, lowest social-emotional intelligence, and lowest overall intelligence of any poster in the darkside.

You have no idea about anything education related because you have no education for yourself. You are less of an expert on education than Dan is but he at least tutored kids in college for beer money, so that makes him only slightly more of an expert than you.

Do you know why our asses are kicked academically around the world? As much as you would like it to be a simple answer to wrap your simple minded brain around it isn’t. It is a multitude of factors. One of which is that formalized public education is not a budget priority and is never properly funded to the extent that it should. Another factor is that we have the highest degree of diversity among learners which is the exact opposite of homogenous groups in the countries that are kicking our asses. We have some of the the highest rates of child poverty, lowest levels of parental involvement (a predictive factor in academic outcomes) and educate all children regardless of situations, abilities, disabilities etc. But I wouldn’t count on you knowing that because of your low intelligence and low social-emotional intelligence to comprehend what you are reading should you actually manage to keep your visceral emotions in check long enough for you to completely read this post (if you are even able).

Point being you know nothing, it shows, and it comes as a surprise to no one here.
