Well you're not quite the richest country in the world and I don't believe your education system is that bad. Places in Asia can have a better system because the culture very much values a good education. It is more difficult to teach in the US simply because so many of the students lack focus.

It doesn;t have the worst education system, although right now, it probably has the best, even though it isn;t that great. That is why our econoomy is so big, because people are educated to get a great job, and get mula, so yeah, our education system could be better, mostly because over half of the us's budget is for the pentagon. And education is a little smigon. SO really, it isn;t our fault. I mean, if we wanted a better education, we can get it, cause individually, we have enough money for that.

On what facts do you base your assumption that America does have such a bad education system?
And how do you define a good education system? That is, what objective criteria would you use?

America is not the richest. Its a baby that has a lot to learn and it can't be taught in school, people like you need to know what they are talking about before asking questions to avoid a large mass thinking like you and leading us towards a life of dumbness.

We are too ignorant to realize we need educations. We think being a rich country is enough, we don't have to be a smart country. That is why we have Britney and Paris as role models.

Because much of the money that gets spent on education doesn't have anything to do with ACTUAL education. Check your local school's budget and find out how much goes for administrative costs and benefits....

i disagree, if the system is that bad, why is america still leading the world, why is that most of the technological breakthroughs still come from america ?

Americans would rather pay to have their butts wiped than pay attention. They're just a bunch of lazy uneducated rich kids, "all grown up"!
