May 23, 2012 - Apparently you went to a public school - it shows.Socialism, communism, rhetoric, ... call it whatever you want.But why are you against the basics of supply and demand and make it work for children. Have schools and teachers compete for parents and students. Why is that evil?

May 24, 2012 - I don't know what it's like in America, but in England there is absolutely no discipline in schools. I wonder how bad a student would have to be to be suspended and put into the "excluded class."

May 24, 2012 - this is not school, this zoo but instead of animals they put kids. both got same brain.

May 24, 2012 - *sigh* You are incapable of presenting a single argument against our wellworking social democracy and instead result to insults. Why is it so hard for you to comprehend that a well-funded public school system is working and effective just because yours isn't? Pretty much ALL schools in Germany are public. Same in Scandinavia. I went to what is considered the elite gymnasium in my city. It's for free and all that was asked of me was to work my butt off.

MsHyde1 Says:

May 24, 2012 - We have a couple of Waldorf private schools in Germany that have a bad reputation when it comes to everything with exception of bringing forth artists. The good schools are all public and only the learning mentality and intelligence of the pupils decides over which school is the right one for you. You don't seem to have a clue about the Germany school system. We have four different "high school" systems alone with different grades of educational niveau that compete for parents and students.

GuillemotWatcher Says:

May 25, 2012 - Students are tested, graded & awarded certification after testing. Dependent on the results they are deemed qualified to continue to higher education or not.Why should teachers be exempt from such testing?Roughly 2.3 million public school teachers in the U.S. have tenure, effectively a job for life unless you screw up big time. Where is the incentive to perform if you can't be fired?Tenure and job security should be removed nationally from the teaching profession in the US.

May 25, 2012 - You know if this really happened, I believe a lot of teachers would FAIL!

May 26, 2012 - Public schools here in New York State, not in NYC, are starting to collapse. Sad that students are getting caught in this but eventually they will be world class. I live in a VERY rural school district that is on the verge of going bankrupt. But they have amped up education SO MUCH that it would look silly to close a school that has such great learning. And the kids are LOVING it!! Sure hope all U.S. kids can turn this corner.

May 26, 2012 - 240 people are stupid.

May 26, 2012 - You can thank the teachers unions.

whiteguyforreal Says:

May 26, 2012 - American people always like to blame schools and teachers. Schools don't make your kids retarded. Genetics and bad parenting mixed with an sense of entitlement make your kids retarded.

May 26, 2012 - 5:06 He is an ignorant punk test scores prove almost nothing about the students full academis capabilities. I work with hands on stuff I hate school. I can give him a test on an engine of a car and he will get 47% right

litcreature98 Says:

May 27, 2012 - Ha! "My son is now 18, and he can't read." Definitely the school's fault.
