Yeah, WAY too many school in the U.S. suck major ballz nowadays. Having traveled and attended classes in other countries I believe the U.S. is in serious trouble if they don't get their shite together really soon. And the creationism school are the worse of the lot. Do you have ANY idea how retarded these people sound when they spout of how old the Earth is (from a bible standpoint) when discussing history with someone who has HAD the benefits of a good education? They just look really sad and pathetic I feel so embarrassed for them, and the people who go to these creationist schools. It's almost like they were back in the Middle Ages.

Well, it's really hard to say. I think most schools in most countries have teaching backwards. Schools (especially in Asian countries) believe that cramming and memorizing facts is the way to go with education, and to some extend, it's like that in the US too, and it should be more of an emphasis on cause and effect. This happens because of this, and this is WHY this happens, not simply "memorize this and that and recite it back to me". What's good about the US school system is that it's less of an emphasis on facts facts facts and there is more hands on experience, but this is only in the best US schools. My high school's ranked in the top 50 in the US so we have a pretty good system and have labs etc. but not a lot of schools have this. The US's problem is there isn't enough emphasis on school and education and an attempt to make learning enjoyable. In countries like China, school is very important and being dumb is pretty much heavily looked down upon, you don''t get this in the US. I think if you have a combination of making learning fun, important and useful for life outside of the classroom, you have a perfect education system. China is too much based on making learning routine, the US doesn't care about education enough (especially with the low budjet for schools). Sorry for the long rant :0 ) EDIT: I know, I take as many AP and Honor classes I can cram into my schedule, but there is this American state of mind that if you love learning, you get dubbed "loser" or "nerd" and that's looked down on. Those who love to learn shouldn't be discouraged to do so.
