Binging on Pure ****ing Rage
having my career in education I do believe some of the ideas that are being mentioned here are a bit skewed. The top schools in America (Private or Public) are going to be tops in the world based on the diversity of study as well as those dreded test scores. However, the biggest issue we run into in this country is the lower income districts that the states are not assiting. They will bring down the "average" of many other schools in the country.
One other issue to keep in mind, is that everyone and their uncle are having their kids classified Special Ed. to get them accomodations, that % needs to be taken into consideration
This is what I said, that due to funding top-tier schools are superior; however, he said "overall".
Unfortunately, the 'lower income' districts you're speaking of are more and more becoming the average, and not exceptions to the rule. The average income individual has a better opportunity for quality education in Canada, than the States, there is no question there.
