Well that's hardly an interesting solution is it? x) Yes things are not good, and they might never be perfect. But that can be better.
- WalterBright 4y agoA point is reached in that any improvement in fairness to one group will decrease fairness to another. For example, I'm bald. That's unfair. At some point, one has to just accept it and move on.
- andrepd 4y agoI fail to see how the educational system has reached the end of any possible or conceivable improvement. I find it very very unlikely that 2022 USA is the end of history (but Mr Fukuyama might like a word with you :p) Also, as a fellow man afflicted with male-pattern baldness, I wouldn't dream of comparing that with the injustices discussed in this thread.
- WalterBright 4y ago> I fail to see how the educational system has reached the end of any possible or conceivable improvement At least the public school has not made any objective improvement since around 1970 or so. That's pretty good evidence that that system cannot get any better.
- andrepd 4y agoCome on Walter, you're a very smart guy, you cannot possibly believe the nonsense you are saying x) In fact the very existence of several developed countries with much better educational systems (by almost any metric) than the US should clue you in on that.
- WalterBright 4y agoSo what then about the American system resists improvement? Why is it that, despite reform after reform after reform, the needle doesn't move?
