No he isn't.For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence) -

That's the studies. You saying the studies are blaming the teachers? Well, it's either the students or the teachers... and the tax paying parents don't like it when you blame their kids you know.-Darkstar

When there is systematic failure, blaming never solves anything
Stop the blame and fix the problem.

Actually, an analysis of communist history reveals they managed to excel in shooting other people in the head

Oh come on Does everybody here forget they were in school at one time. The classes are not be taught at the slowest level. The slowest kids fail and have to repeat the class if they fail for chirss sake. The smart ones move on. Dumber kids dont slow the class down.Originally posted by Darkstar
Probably has something to do with the teaching systems. I don't recall hearing that the European systems dumb down the class to the slowest student. It's hard to excel when the class plods along at the slowest rate of the slowest student, rather then at the average.
More money won't fix most of the troubled systems in the US. That's been examined. Reform the system, reform teachers (studies of US colleges found the college staff themselves felt their teaching of education wasn't worth the trouble of taking), dismiss tenior, make teachers take achievement/knowledge test when they start and ever 5 years thereafter. There's a ton of suggestions from various studies and think tanks on how to improve the American educational system. Everything but more money is opposed by teacher unions. Especially any form of testing. Seems teachers don't believe in testing (particularly standardized testing) as a means of proving you have a basic knowledge of a subject. Does anyone else from American schooling see the irony of that statement?When you find yourself arguing with an idiot, you might want to rethink who the idiot really is.

Striker, it's odd, but most interested parents that look at those studies tend to ignore the suggestions on how *parents* can take action to improve their children's learning experience (you know, students). Like, taking an hour or two out of their day, every day, sit down with their child(ren) and go through their homework with them. This is a proven way to raise most student's grades by a letter and a half, and tends to improve other aspects of their child's scholastic life.-Darkstar
