Mexico enforces their immigration laws which are much tougher than ours, yet their education system is horrid.
The UK has the same problem we have, and their education system is suffering.
France has toughened their laws, so the impact on their education system remains to be seen.
Japan has very strict and enforced laws, and their education system is excellent.
The failure of the US to enforce the laws and allow overwhelming of our schools, reduction of programs for American kids to fund the creation of ESL and remedial classes for children of illegal aliens is very detrimental to our future as a nation.

It is true in Eastern Europe. Fact I live there and can see with my own eyes.I see people speaking English and Hungarian to there babies at the same time so that they get used to both languages. My son's ex-wife could speak, read and write in 4 languages.The high school kids here must pass a very tough oral and written test in English if they want to attend college. There are 5 to6 bookstores on every street corner here in Budapest,it is like they eat books.So much culture going on,sometimes we hear rap music from outside but just as often we hear someone practicing the violin.It is an real eye opener here.

One big reason why our schools are failing is due to the fact that children have no respect for adults anymore. We can't force them to learn and we make them go and those bad apples ruin it for other children who do want to learn. We have no discipline, no honor of our country and no honoring of God in our schools, we've become automatons to the PC idiots in this nation. Children need limits, and so need to know that there are consequences for horrid behaviour. I blame a lot of this on American parents because I may not have loved all of my teachers but I respected their postion and I knew that if I misbehaved the consequences would be coming not only from school but also from my parents. I also showed respect for my parents. I also knew that there was no alternative to getting a great education, I was never told that all I had to do was join MS13 and I'd be ok. We'd never even heard of a factor like that in our country and we were all driven to succeed.

I'm sure there's statistical support for your theory, but it is also true that many countries whose education systems are more successful that the US' face little immigration pressure and succeed because they actually want their children to be educated.
American education is a political issue not a system of learning.

I do not think the two points are related. Out education is sub-standard for many reasons. Poor management is one big one. I am very opposed to illegal immigration and all of our social services suffer to some extent but our system for education is flawed with or without illegal immigration. Without it I suppose they would have a bit more money to mismanage and smaller classes to inadequately teach but that is about all.

No. I teach ESL on the secondary level and provide a great education. I feel that the overall problem has to do with the way we fund education and the general disrespect for teachers and public education in the US.

almost everybody, except third world countries of course, are passing the U.S. in education. All we care about is money, never mind if we can't count it.
