As the U.S. continues its slide into the abyss...

In article ,
says...

Why? I've seen numbers that say as a pct of GDP we rank about 50th in
spending.

what the hell does GDP have to do with it?

Look it up. GDP pct is commonly used to measure relative public
spending. Including education.

And you can chalk those so-called "results" up to the
student's and their parents stupidity. This is America.
Teachers don't "teach," they can only guide the willing to learn.
So I don't agree with you, and you're not clear at all.
BTW, the "results" are just another ****ing test. You really like the
tests, don't you? But only tests you agree with.

How would you rank students? How well the teacher thinks (s)he is
doing with no testing?
The reality is, everything important in this country comes from the
result of a test.
Virtually all professions have a test and most trades do too.. You
need to do well on a test to get into a decent college, there are lots
of tests in the military and a lot of employers have tests.

Yabut...you haven't specified what tests would suit you.

Until you propose changes that show positive results, it's clear that
you're not an educator; you're just a nag.

There are plenty of people who agree with me.
The unions usually run them out of town, even when they have good
results. Ever hear of Michelle Rhee and her experiences in DC.

Blah, blah, blame the unions. Parents are blameless.
Easy as hell to do that. Squawk, rattle, squawk.
