Guys does anyone know what is the number of comprehensive secondary schools
in the US? I’m from the UK so i’m not really sure and what is the number of
mixed secondary schools and single sex secondary schools? thanks in advance
No, we dont need a base amount to pay to succeed. Thats bullshit,
subsidize all education, period.
There are private schools in Finland, I don’t know where you guys get this
notion that they are illegal in Finland, but it’s just false.
Also I think you guys should be more critical of American teachers. Just
read this

I don’t think you can just disregard the quality of the teachers when
discussing the quality of your schools. In Finland teachers are required to
have master’s degrees to teach.
Something else to consider is that in Finland the teachers have a lot of
freedom in how they run their class. They get to choose the textbooks and
make the tests themselves for example.
Sal Khan also has some exciting ideas about the future of education.
new drinking game, replay this and drink every time you hear Brendan Hamme
say “umm”. Good points there Hamme, but you seemed a lil nervous.
The moment it shift from race, the rich will scrabble to find another way
to distract us.
Public schools need to up their game, if that means more investment, than
I’m all for it. I went to a public school in a poor rural area and though I
did good there, I was completely unprepared for college. I struggled my
first two years. Fortunately my college had a program for kids that came
from disadvantaged educations. They taught me how to critically read a
textbook. They taught me how to take notes and how to study. By my junior
year I was almost getting straight A’s. My wife’s family was well to do and
she went to a private school and when she got to college, she came out
running and did great all 4 years. My wife says I’m smarter than she is,
but her public education prepared her for college, while mine did not and
as a result she did much better than I did. Public education needs to be
fixed.
The finnish education system is actually for the large part based on the
system of the now dead-and-gone DDR. That’s why it has been so hard for
many western governments to adopt the finnish system :)
4:50~ hitting the nail on the head…
Defunding public education and rising the cost of private education, and
cutting taxes for big corporations is not a coincidence , I dont believe in
coincidences In politics.The powerful need ignorant people , easy to
manipulate , brainless sheep , willing to consume every crap they try to
sell , and believe everything their puppets in the political power says
they have to do and think . Idiot consumers unable to think for themselves
and challenge those who have the real power.
Finally people point it out, white people get screwed just as much as
blacks mexicans asians ect. I get harassed by the police for no reason,
the problem isnt being black, the problem is the police think they can get
something out of you.
Privatize education just like y’all have done with health care. What could
go wrong?
School education is only one side of the equation. Parents have to do their
part as well, whether their kids are in privat or public schools. If you
want to make your children curious about learning, buy them building blocks
instead of those new electronic toys, read stories to them, let them play
outside even if it’s raining. Only give them access to a computer or a
smartphone when their *old enough*, because all this new shit is killing
the natrual curiousity of children. I’m seeing this happen with my nephews,
although I’ve pointed it out more then once to my cousein, their mother,
but she ain’t listening. Its frustrating.
Tenure is actually a huge issue with the public school system. Teachers
unions are also contributing to the problem by acting against their own
best interests when they push to keep tenure. Watch the documentary
“Waiting for Superman” and read “Shame of the Nation” by Jonathan Kozol if
you want the real reasons the public education system in America is so
horrible. A lot of the facts are shocking.
@10:50 Well said.
so evil
Its also partially because higher education has become so devalued. You
need a degree to even compete for shitty entry-level clerical jobs so much
so that its no longer the case that having any degree proves that you have
a certain level of dedication or intellect but that you have to really
specialise if you want to get a job that can pay off your debt. Hence why
everyone is switching over to law and economic degrees while sciences and
arts are declining. This has a flow on effect and is why we have so few
political scientists and international relations theorists in politics and
instead have law and economics students running everything, who
not-surprisingly favour the legal and economic aspects of politics rather
than the art of statecraft.
