"Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." - Albert Einstein
Saigon is too stupid and insane to understand....
On public schools, supposedly Canada ranks higher than the US, but it is my opinion that my son's American public schooling is better than my Canadian public schooling. It is harder and more comprehensive.
When understanding the problems inner city schools in the US, people should watch The Wire in the season which focused on the Baltimore inner city schools.
On Universities, the best schools in the world are in the US, for the most part. However, some of the worst schools are as well. Many of these for-profit technical schools are a joke whereby people take on huge loans and are often unemployable when they get out.
Schooling reflects culture. America has wide societal disparities, so the schools will also. The average may be higher in other countries, but the best are in America, as are the worst.

Technical schools are important, though. Air conditioning and Heating, electrical repair, even cosmetology are areas that people can get jobs in.
My wife teaches cosmetology and loves to show that over double the number of students who graduate from her school find work in their field within 12 months than do those graduating from U.C. Riverside. (A local, high end University.)
Not everyone needs a bachelors. A lot of people with a bachelors in Liberal Arts or other underwater basket weaving majors are unemployable when they graduate.

There are some very good technical schools and there are some very bad ones as well. I didn't intend to impugn all the adult for-profit schools.
Forcing someone to pay for goods/services provided to others is involutary servitude.
Involuntary servitude is outlawed by the Constitution.
no. it isn't.
*sigh*
I got the road to serfdom upstairs to read...so that's great..So what would happen to k-12 schools if the government isn't involved in them? We have to start paying for them or no?
Since you just re-entered 8th grade, I thought you'd be famiiliar with the 13th amendment by now.no. it isn't.Forcing someone to pay for goods/services provided to others is involutary servitude.

There's that Jillian legal training coming in again.....
{Article XIII.
Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
Section 2. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation. }
Hmmm, maybe another couple of "Law and Order" reruns will clear things up for you?

But, but, but...she said "sigh" and as we all know, that's a bullet proof retort when debating. There is no come back to "sigh". There just isn't!

Having a well educated workforce that can keep high tech jobs at home is just like having an advanced industrial infrastructure. We invest in roads, bridges, energy grids ... because we need these things. Education is just as vital as infrastructure. China educates more of its children than the USA, and they are currently cleaning our clock. [American capitalists are the single biggest ally of China, from whom they get so much of their cheap labor] The Right has been manipulated to hate government because government has a flaw: it can be used democratically to make decisions against the money which funds elections, staffs governments, and runs the world. The wealthy people who own government want tax breaks so they can leave dynastic inheritances to their families; they don't want education for the nation.

Saigon will shout that Finland has 100% government paid universities.
What he WON'T point out is that the percentage of the population allowed into the universities is about 9%.
In the USA about 60% of the population attends at least some level of higher education.
