I didn’t know you had a worst educational system that you have. I just knew the individuals.

You’re welcome! And thank you for enlightening me about the education system in the US; I really appreciate it! I wish both of you all the best. Take care as well!

Don’t apologize for something you didn’t do. I haven’t experienced any bad things from North American citizens yet, and I don’t believe your leaders can cause enough damage that we can’t recover from. Just stay strong and focus on improving things for your community, with education and health being the pillars of a strong one. 💪

they can make changes to their curriculum, but if they can’t pass the standardized tests, they risk losing funding (or having the feds come in to run the school). so, most teach largely to the lowest common denominator.

Yup pretty bad. Once again, this explains my reasoning in the OP.

Thank you!

Okay, so does that mean each state can make changes to the curriculum? That doesn’t sound that bad to me… you’re essentially like a continent, and amendments to the curriculum could bring some benefits. But I guess the base standards still apply. The one thing I’d caution against, though, is the downgrading of problem-solving skills.

No, I thought basic education was covered by federal taxes. You’re telling me it’s funded at the county level?? WTF?! Why?

I didn’t know that, and it makes a lot of sense. If true, your input on this aggravates the scenario even more. Thank you for sharing!

Unpopular opinion: The USA reached this state due to a lack of affordable, quality education.

I’m open to contradiction.

My thoughts exactly! After that it was like a domino effect… I realized that probably everything this guy ever said and done was pure BS. Fake it until you make it.

this is really insightful, thanks!

Apologies for assuming. Sugar is the number one culprit for a “beer belly”, so you find more than enough in beer.

by experience, no. You need to stop drinking beer so often, and you need to eat less. Exercise is still a plus, but you need to sync your activity with your meals. I still eat whatever I want but in less quantities in general.

yeah, I do both at the same time.

From where I’m from we have a saying: Thief that steals from a thief has 100 years of pardon.

It rhymes in my native language btw.
