Wow, I must say that is an impressive Google
I guess you do have a point. What do those 25 countries that do better in Math than the US have on common? They all have MORE government involvement in their education system
Go for it
In some cases, the private market is the preferable solution. In other cases the government is the best option to provide essential services
I've said it before and I will say it again. The US has the best government in the world. To claim they are incapable of providing critical services to Americans is childish
America has the worst educational system in the free world. We rank 17th in science and 25th in math.
U.S. Falls In World Education Rankings, Rated 'Average'
The system is run to benefit the teachers union, not to provide quality education. Success is measured by the lavish retirement packages offered teachers, not by the educational prowess of the students. The high school drop out rate for LAUSD is 34.9% - a district that enjoys the highest per pupil spending in the Nation.

America's educational system is just a little less successful than the Titanic was.

Thanks for doing my homework for me.
That doesn't even include all the spending, deficits, debts the department of education contributes to as well.

I am more amused by liberals than frustrated. I am amused that their inability to logically defend a point so easily morphs into personal attacks, strawman arguments, projection, cries of racism or (my favorite) a response similar or equal to "bullshit!"
Liberalism is (an amusing) mental disorder.

My sig probably makes clear that the education mess is a big focus of mine.
I teach introductory economics for the nation's largest private university. (As a second job.) The educational level that most first year students demonstrate is shocking. These should be the best and the brightest, yet most cannot construct a grammatically correct sentence.

how could they possible have more government involvement than the United States? We have virtually 100% government operated system.
One thing the do is let the money follow the child instead of forcing children into bad schools. If schools do a bad job, then they get no students and no money.
You mean like the way anyone receiving public assistance is a welfare cheat and all union workers are lazy, overpaid slobs?

You plagiarized my post about how frustrating it is to argue with conservatives!!!

The US has thousands of independent school districts operating to different standards. Some school systems are well funded and offer fine educations. Other schools slash funding to a bare minimum and try to reduce education to Read'n, Rit'n and Rithmatic. These schools, in what we like to call Red States historically lag other schools in the nation in their quality of education
When it come to excellence in education, red states ruleat least according to a panel of experts assembled by Tina Browns Newsweek.
Using a set of indicators ranging from graduation rate to college admissions and SAT scores, the panel reviewed data from high schools all over the country to find the best public schools in the country.
The results make depressing reading for the teacher unions: The very best public high schools in the country are heavily concentrated in red states.

The fact is that Parochial schools do a better job of educating kids than do public schools in almost every category.
The fact is that secular private schools do a better job of educating kids than do most parochial schools and almost all public schools.
The fact is that homeschooled kids are getting a far superior education than all the other groups.
The fact is, when our elected leaders who are using the people's money to increase their own power, prestige, influence, and personal fortunes send THEIR kids to the same public schools they force on the rest of us, THEN I might believe they give a damn about whether the public schools are doing a good job of education. Until then, our liberal friends seem unable to see that the bureaucracy is swallowing up almost all of the money with very little going to actually educate kids.
We are already presumably spending more per capita on education than almost any other country and are getting some of the worst results. That suggests we should get the Federal government out of education altogether and return the system to the local communities and school boards that once provided our school kids with a world class education on a par with or that exceeded just about everybody else.
The most frustrating thing about discvussing this with liberals is that they will not see what is, but think if we just throw more money after the bad, that will fix the problem plus any of us who oppose putting more federal funding into bad education are accused of wanting to stop educating our kids.

It's all apples and oranges
Private schools get to select their apples while public schools, by law have to educate apples, oranges, bananas and rotten tomatoes.
There is very little correlation between money spent and quality of education. Results would appear to be more related to parental involvement, a student's economic status and, yes, that dirty word, race. Read more hereWow, I must say that is an impressive Google

Which public school district spends the most taxpayer money per student? One in Beverly Hills, perhaps? Or one in the swanky Park Avenue area of Manhattan?
Actually, its a district in Camden, N.J., according to new Census data on public school spending. Best known for urban blight and local corruption, Camden has an unemployment rate of 17 percent and 35 percent of its 80,000 inhabitants live below the poverty line. Fifty percent of residents are black, 15.5 percent white, 2.6 percent Asian; 10,000 people are crammed into each square mile. In 2008, the Federal Bureau of Investigation ranked it as the most dangerous city in America.
Camden High School, with an enrollment of 1,200 students, has less than a 40 percent graduation rate, and the former district chief of security Thomas Hewes-Eddinger has called it a mini-jail. Yet the district spends $23,356 per student, more than twice the national average.

Come back if you decide to be truthful.
If you wish to bleat party mantras, you're dismissed.
Standard Disclaimer: Los Angeles has near the highest level of per pupil spending in the nation. It ranks near the bottom for scholastic performance.
