Is the government monopoly socialized education a complete failure?

[Leah]

Report tell us kids in public schools don't even know know who George Washington is. They cannot identify the 3 branches of government.

They do know how much a bag of weed costs. Is this real wanting the government to run health care?
David H You and I went to school in a time when education was the goal rather than socialist indoctrination. Public schools are vulnerable to the leftist contamination.

Only in the US with its self-serving adult members of PTA.

It's fine here in Japan.

republican education "no child left behind" - without doubt.
For decades republicans were cutting funds for education in favor of absolutely crazy military spendings ..
Rpublcan "plan" of private education means good education for 5% and no education for 95% of population - perfect score for republicans. Uneducated people are so easy to manipulate. Teabaggers are perfect example...
