Went down the rabbit hole and was surprised to learn that the U.S. spends more than any other country on education. Lots more interesting takeaways — from Canada, Singapore, Finland, South Korea, and Germany — here: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/sep/07/us-education-spending-finland-south-korea https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/sep/07/us-education...
- redis_mlc 5y agoWhen teachers unions can dictate that they're closing schools for months or years on end, or teaching CRT whether parents like it or not, there are fundamental problems.
- artichokes 5y agoYou're comparing a country with a 30%+ black/Mestizo component to a list of countries that are 90%+ white or East-Asian. The same kids who score highly in Finland or Korea, also score highly in the US. But because they comprise a lower % of the population, our average as a whole is lower than Finland/Korea.
- anarbadalov 5y agoSure, this is about race, not income inequality or underpaid teachers or overcrowded schools... At very least get your facts straight: According to Canada's 2016 census about 73% of Canadians are white. By now that percentage is probably lower.
