i don't think our education system is bad, on the whole, just our public schools, specifically inner city.
i personally think the way schooling is done should be overhauled. if a child can't behave in school, they most likely won't behave in society. i can speak from personal experience on this one as once puberty hit i became a nuisance to all those around me trying to get an actual education. i wasted three years in an exam school where my seat could have went to a perhaps less brighter student, but one who was actually going to pay attention.
trouble students, those given multiple chances and refusing to change, should have their education path altered and entered into a more rigid environment, one more military like. instead of learning algebra, these kids should learn consequences of their actions. they should learn valuable trades and/or be put on paths for military service. basically, a hail-mary approach to save them from themselves. i would have been much better off gaining discipline rather than knowledge, as knowledge can always be achieved later in life.
of course, this will not happen as the socioeconomic breakdown of said schooling would have lefties screaming racism, despite it being better for society on the whole.
as for non-troubled students, once high school hits there should be a split based on testing. bright students are grouped together and less bright grouped together.
