the problem is the adults and the politicians. they really dont care about education until their child dont qualify for a job or they cant graduate hs the turnover rate for teachers are high...20% in the first year and 50% in the 5th year. no business can survive with that cause their product will be horrible.
fools think the UN means university of nevada. we teach our kids all that book learning ois being white. hell look at how they acted on russell wilson .
Basically Many of us had chances to elevate ourselves and it's nice to see someone take responsibility for their actions/inactions
thats cool but lets not put it totally on his shoulders...he was in hs. we adult american society dont make education a priority . example i got into two discussion with a bm and a wm about UAB football getting shut down bm this pro-black positive thinking business owner. i told him was good it happened cause the 18 mill in subsidies can go to public education. we went round and round. he said studies say money doesnt save education. i replied....20 % of teachers leave in the1st year...50% in the 5th yr...one reason is pay. a business of any type cant survive with that kind of t/o. why cause you will have a bad product due to the t/o. as you can figure that ended the convo. but it shows people dont have any sense of what is important.
Many nations don't even have multi million dollar sports programs in their academic schools This strong emphasis on excelling at inter scholastic/intercollegiate sports while in school and less on academics is really an American thing I love sports just as much as the next man, but education always comes first You have to apply for academic probation to play sports when your grades fall, not sports probation to study academics when you fail at sports
the wm was a conservative he tried to use the economy rout. this was tuff. i stated no one ever bought a home cause of the football team nearby. it doesnt increase value....a good reputation of the school does. also the PISA stated in 2009 said if u increase test scores by 25 pt in about 20 yrs will equate to 41 trillion dollars . he said thats liberal jibberish. i stated then stop quoting them he said he never i said u have. when u state the ranking of the US in the world in education...thats who you are quoting. another shut down. of course he got mad. i flung one more insult. why the welfare money on football...let the free market decide
Dunno about that but i do know perversion when I see it When kids are more concerned about becoming a celebrity or literally dream of becoming a professional athlete, something is off What's even worse is the media and the celebs who push this 1 percenter shit down our throats, encouraging people to attain celeb/pro status, knowing the full reality that only a minute fraction will ever achieve such goals When college athletes are failing to graduate because you're more concerned about their yards after catch or touchdowns, your system is broken
^^^exactly.....we have it twisted 2013 pisa article http://www.oecd.org/newsroom/asian-...-pisa-survey-on-state-of-global-education.htm 2009 pisa article-41 trillion dollar economy also compare US ranking between the years...we are dropping http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/news/education/2010-12-07-us-students-international-ranking_N.htm this is why i say a better educated america can result into a better economy. also ask any parent ....when they buy a home...the first thing they ask a realtor...what school district is that home is in...that drives up the market value.
