People say the American Education System is failing our kids/us n that we’re stupid. If that is the case then why is America so rich? We’re the most powerful n the wealthiest nation on earth. Now, we must be smart or somewhat intelligent right? Even though the public school system is not so great from K->12th grade but the college system is.
America has the best universities but how come people still say we’re not as smart as other foreigners//…? Well, I think it’s because we learn differently. We’re more focused on tests and so on (like how to get to college, a job and be rich). Other nations such as India and Japan have education system that emphasize math and science (n English now). Americans are just more focused on what each individual is good at and on the big picture- “success” in general not the little thing like memorizing poems or add without the calculator well.
well, my thing is if you’re Rich (not born rich) then you’ve got to be somewhat smart (above average) in order to make that much. If you’re poor, it depends b/c governments’ barrier prevents poor ppl to move up the social ladder (like the communist).
