At one time our public schools where second to none...expect the UK, Japan, Russia and every other European and Asian country.

Yeah, our education doesn't even approach Japan. They teach their kids to clean the school, even. They actually understand how to promote good cultural behavior.

We do the exact damned opposite.

They also spend most of their waking day in those schools because their parents are usually at work 14-16 hours a day. That's why schools in Japan are in session for like 18 hours a day and they go to school on Saturday's. The only day they don't go to school is Sunday.

Dude, that sucks for the kids that want to go out and have fun with their friends. Clubs and shit in Japan are MANDATORY.

I'm not saying it's bad, but Japan might be a little TOO extreme with their schooling

America can never have that again except the white pop rate increases to about 70 % or so. Most of those countries who practice strict education standards are homogenous countries.

can you imagine telling Tyrone and Pedro to be in the class for 14hrs?

The schools ain’t in session for 14 hours there. I lived next to two schools when I lived there. They had normal hours except the Saturday element. However, the kids who played baseball at the middle school picked up trash and swept the streets every morning between 6 and 7 AM.

A lot of the moms don’t work there so the school isn’t necessarily a babysitter like in the US. But I will say that when they add cram school it does make for a long day for the kids, but the dumber kids aren’t subjected to that.

Government-run indoctrination centers that waste children's creativity and time, and mold them into obedient wage-slaves of the ruling class? Perhaps they were well-run in comparison, but you believe that to be a good system? You really think that state bureaucrats were better placed to decide on children's education, over their own parents?

And if this education system was so great, why has half of America been voting for aweful policies and politicians for at least a century? Those people voted for Franklin Roosevelt FFS.

I think it's very difficult to compare education between countries because it's difficult, likely impossible, to accurately and consistently assign value to the education in each country. While American schools may have been great at some point, and may still be in select areas, on a whole they have been trash for a long, long time. Likely through all the time they were being praised for being better than the rest of the world.

Statistics like that are made up bullshit. It's propaganda for their agenda. After all, a young adult wouldn't want to look back at all the leftist garbage they've been fed and think "all that teaching was of poor quality." They depend on you depending on them for "information", and that want you to think they're good at it.

Let's see what good has come from public school becoming widespread and mandatory in 1860-1880:

Women feel entitled to vote

Women vote to make alcohol illegal

Divorce increases from 0.4% to 50%
