Stupidity in America?

I hear a lot of people talking about problems with education in America, with Americans being misinformed or stupid, etc. I have also heard many ideas to try and solve this problem. Some people say there should be more American History classes in school, some people advocate Voucher programs, and still some say we should just increase funding. Others say things are fine as they are. What do you think? Here's a video that should bring about some interesting discussion that I found on youtube. I hope you all enjoy it, and I'd like to hear what your reaction(s) are.

Please refrain from posting until you have at least seen the video.

Fat paycheck?

If you think that teachers get paid huge amounts of money, I think you need to become an hero now, or at least get out of high school and find a job that pays more than the teacher you hate (Trust me, it's easy.)

Teachers are held to the most exacting standards in the nation, more so than soldiers, policemen, businessmen, doctors and politicians, and despite their constant criticism, we still have teachers that teach your irritating little brats for 6 hours a day, then go home and work on new lesson plans, grade the work of 300+ students, spend countless hours in meetings to satisfy the administration, and spend several nights a year listening to some parent tell them that their piece of shit son/daughter is gods motherfucking gift to the world.

As for "too self-interested over the goals of education", this sounds like another faggot who thinks the "those who can't, teach" slogan ever held true.  Since you're obviously the fucking paragon of success, with all the fucking answers to how "all those fucking teachers" should do their jobs, please, show us how it should be done.  Become a teacher for a middle school/Jr High, in a low income neighborhood, and prove to us how you can make a ton of fucking einsteins with your "real world success" experience.  And don't puss out of the fucking "easiest job in the world", much like the 60% of first year teachers do, to go pursue better paying jobs.
