[QUOTE]Originally posted by Omega: [QB] I don't suppose anyone has a list of what percentage of the countries GNP's these are? Just curious. Is that stat just the national government (which really shouldn't be spending anything at all on education, constitutionally), cause otherwise, I can't get some numbers to quite match up. In New Jersey, it's approaching $9,000 per student, every year! You're telling me that that's not enough money? You can go to a Catholic school for, what, a third of that? You'd probably get a better education, too. More money is not the answer. If two tylenol doesn't get rid of a headache, you don't take four more. There is one main thing that needs to happen to fix our classrooms. Teachers need to be able to enforce rules and institute dicipline in classrooms. I know a man who teaches at a public school who touched a kid to get his attention. The kid then told his mother that the teacher hit him. The mother came to the school and physically attacked the teacher. The judge told them that they both commited asssault, and decided to "let" them both off. Getting someone's attention is considered assault! If you yell at a kid who's, say, playing a guitar in class, again, you can be sued for assault! Now tell me something isn't wrong there. Out of curiosity, where is Japan falling in these educational rankings? I've heard that their students are quite similar to ours, and trying to deal with them can incur similar consequences.
