American Public Schools Are Awful

I decided to quit school because I don't believe in ignorance, rudeness, dating, fornication, or the use of drugs. I also don't believe in grades being based on social and economic status, not knowledge and effort. Instead I decided to take a series of five General Educational Development (GED) Tests and I passed them with above average scores. I was awarded a High School Equivalency Diploma which certifies that I satisfactorily completed comprehensive tests selected by the Commissioner of Education for determining general educational achievement equivalent to high school graduation.

Studies have shown that most high school graduates when tested have failed the GED Tests. Ironically some of its critics who likely have never seen the test refer to it as, "too easy".

They should start training people for a trade in public school instead of this elitist higher education lie where all the wrong people are given all the wrong jobs. What relevance is it anyway if I go to school or not? If all you look at on a person are degrees then you really don't know what matters. Most people with degrees can't even do the professions that they studied in a university for 4 years any better than a 5th grader, if not worse. Yet they're the experts because they're "qualified".

College teaches you one thing how to trick and exploit poor people.

lolllll libertarians

Hahaha what the fuck. "Those schools are dominated by unionized teachers and administrators who only care about their pay and benefits.  The solution here is obvious:  PRIVATIZE." How the fuck do those two thoughts even go together. You mention that teachers only care about pay, then jump to the conclusion that schools should be privatized. The whole fucking point of privatizing anything is to make money off of it you fucking mong, privatizing public schools would only serve to make education ridiculously expensive and fatten the wallets of the careless teachers who are ruining it, it would just give the unions exactly what they want.

Anyway American public schools are shit generally because their standards are horribly low, for students and teachers, and they're just poorly regulated. European schools do so much better because they're under much more government scrutiny and teachers are held to much higher standards. And yeah teacher unions in America are fucking terrible and are the reason why teachers are constantly appeased and why schools are so much more about teachers and staff keeping their jobs than the students' education. European schools succeed because they ignore the teachers unions' BAWWWing and understand that the main focus of schools is the students and not the teachers.

AmeriKKKa creates problems then whines about them.

Google "competition" and get back with us when you don't sound like a fucking 12-yr-old.  PRIVATIZATION does NOT mean just handing the local and failing school system to a company run by one of the members of the Board of Education.  It does NOT mean using no-bid contracts and other winks and nudges in back rooms.  Privatization requires competition.  And note well that with unionized labor, there's ZERO competition going on.

You're so brainwashed by the public schools that you can't even see that.  In fact, your so-called arguments are prima facie evidence that the school system is failing and must be changed by any means, including wholesale closure.

Individual workers compete to gain employment in the first place.

And, once a company is granted a contract, it is the sole company available, with no competition.  And, private enterprise does not necessarily not have unions.  We went over this, for the sake of pete.

And you come across as if you have a rather raw anti-union bias, which frankly is unbecoming.

You can't fire a public school system.  However, using measurement-conditional contracts with private companies, you can.  I keep making this point to you, but in your ever-lovin' sucking off of unions, you refuse to acknowledge it.

If you somehow believe that a set of unionized companies will show up to bid to run a school system, then you're TRULY DELUSIONAL.

As for my bias, I hardly need to say anything beyond pointing out the wholesale failure of unionized labor's products and services.  Those EPIC FAILS speak for themselves.

you forget that school is meant to generalize education so more people can have it. if we specialize too much there will be far more uneducated people then we have now. if its not right for you then no problem but it is a necessary part of our woefully ignorant society.

dam, you giz. we tend to b a pretty smart bunch here. unfortunatley,  in my real life i deal with way 2 many average ordinary folk... and i must report that "average" is amazingly stupid,  so stupid in fact that its easy to forget exactly how stupid "average" truly is.

don kno how that falls inna debate, butt there ya r....

That's rather disruptive, firing the whole fuckin' system.  How much of that can we take for crying out loud.

Companies aren't ever unionized as such, it's employees that form unions.  Private does not mean immunity from law.

Your "wholesale failure" is exagerated.

The primary purpose for Education is not Subject matter, but subservience to accept any crap taught without opposing thought,
destroying opposite brain to be submissive android.

You're taught to be stupid.
