Look at USA spending on education the money isn't the issue at all.
- ceejayoz 6y agoI think the argument is less "we don't spend enough" and more "we spend a lot on the wrong sort of education".
- tick_tock_tick 6y agoMost of the time the argument is "if we spend less on military and more on education it would solve X". So I disagree. The people I get into a discussion with on education funding always seems to think the USA spends less than other first world countries.
- ceejayoz 6y agoIn general, yes, but the parent poster makes a different claim than usual. > America's education system emphasizes nationalism and obedience. It doesn't encourage critical thinking or alternative worldviews. They're not complaining that we're not teaching enough, they're complaining that we're teaching the wrong things; that the same resources could be used for better teaching.
