    I'm actually really interested to hear about the differences you see. All the kids I know that went to private schools we're usually smarter but it could be a coincidence.

    I will post the paper on the board when i am done.....
    I will also visit a catholic high school just to see how that system works compared to the other private schools.......will assess if religion plays a difference in the teaching....... Main thing is I have ONLY seen one teacher truly dedicated in a public school.....it seemed like the other teachers gave half-assed efforts imo..........

    At this point, public schools aren't ? but daycares. Parents more concerned about behavior than whether a kid learned something

    it's no surprise since america is behind countries like mexico and estonia when it comes to education. how the hell are kids in practically a 3rd world country smarter than kids in "the greatest country in the world" smh.

    Because education isnt a priority here sadly.

    @Pico, I'm just sayin', most young kids listen to the radio and watch music videos... Why would it be unusual for a 4th grader to quote a recent song lyric, but not know anything about an Italian dictator who ruled during World War II?

    Cause nobody wants to teach these lil raggamuffins so the school system gotta hire whomever is willing. Again I blame the parents (not all tho) because if you got an aint ? parent you probably aint gon be ? either *shrug*
