I will defend the American School System. I live in a state with a great public education system and an even better private one. We have a private school that is ranked in the top 10 best schools in the country. Our son does attend a private school but not because of the education. We wanted him going to chapel every week and learning the morals and values that have been removed from public school.
That is my one gripe with the school system.
AND....it does depend on what part of the US you live if you are getting a good education or not. I live in Virginia, the state has money and therefore the schools are excellent.
You pretty much made my point. Only certain parts of the United States have decent schooling. You're defending the American school system as a whole, and then go on to say that it really depends where in the US you are in.
Some of the most densely populated areas have some of the poorest school systems. There is a real problem in this country with education funding.
Still, even in better education systems within the US up to High School, there is not much emphasis on the metric system.
