I disagree almost entirely. While I think it's important to have good teachers, the environment and culture of our nation is more likely the culprit of poor education in America.
In our high school culture, it's more important to be popular than smart, and the two are often opposing forces. The quarterback is the big shot in American HS. The kid who is best at calculus is a fucking nerd who gets bullied. Do you think it's that way in China? Probably not. The student who is best in calculus probably gets all the tight Asian pussy.
This is not a problem I know how to fix. I guess the first thing I'd do is place far less emphasis on sports. I guess the second thing I'd do is get rid of mandatory attendance polices. If the fucking kids don't want to be there, then gtfo. All those kids are doing is distracting and taking away from kids who actually want to be there.
