Yeah, my first thought when I saw an ad for that was exactly the same as the OP.  Cruslest thing I could think of, next to doing the same idea with home foreclosures.  Mark my words... in 15 years, we're going to have the Running Man on TV.

America's schools are no better and no worse than other nations. You get what you take out of schooling. Some just try to pass and move on without trying to actually learn.

Have you attended schools in other countries?  I think it is impossible that American schools are not better than some and not worse than others.  Since when did everything became equal on this planet?

It is more the person and not the school. With that being known and the fact that America accepts folks from so many nations..... we can move on to where are the folks from. How many are French, German, and etc.

Make up your minds.  You guys cant be Americans only when it suits you.  You are either Americans or German or French etc. but can't switch back and forth depending on the situation.

There are dumb folks everywhere. All you have to do is turn on the news to get your fill.

True dat, and probably in much larger numbers than here.

Slightly conservative estimate.

Yes I have but never in Europe.

I'll add that in Venezuela our parents paid $2000 each for my brother and I to attend an english speaking school. Here in the states we should do that with non-english speaking folks to help fill the education coffers.

I would estimate that I went close to around 30 different schools up till I was 12 years old. One year alone we went to 8. Most of those were all over the US. Some in Canada, Mexico, and South America. I have lived in every state in the US except for Alaska and Hawaii. So yes I have been around a bit.

Well, that leaves a lot of the world out doesn't it?  But with that experience you should know that US schools are for sure better than some, and that even schools within the US are better and worse than others depending on location.  What the students do is a different story.  I am talking school systems.
