WE quit Phonics for learning to read and now have more illiterate than can be believed.... The education system and more has deteriorated so baddly. something has to give. People are getting upset about all the corporate scandals and corruption and too many are retreating into their own personal lala land...you did not ask for a solution just what happened... we got lazy and complacent and fail to teach by example

Reply:Public education has become corrupted as an institution. Liberals waste millions babysitting disinterested kids in "diversity" experiments.





Parents and their children have a sense of entitlement instead of duty.





There are no consequences for failure, just the safety-net of mediocrity.





Colleges have become "Grade 13" diploma mills. They encourage mediocrity instead of excellence.

Maybe they are watching too many horror movies, and TV and whatever else.





Why? What are you doing about it? Are you a scientist?
Reply:religious fundamentalism
Reply:This generation got lazy in their studies, work-ethic, has everything handed down to them and doesn't know the value of a dollar.


That is why other nations are now passing the USA.
Reply:The USA never had anything called brains. All the achievements made by that stupid country is because of Asians and the Europeans. There are many examples. Like the A-bombs and the H-bombs were made by German scientists and so were the first rockets. The USSR made all the land-marks in Science, like space race and the first ICBM and the computer BESM - 1.


The americans are idiots who don't know anything except style, fashion, looks and all other meaning-less shitts. As mentioned above, american technology no matter how much beautifull and stylish-high-tech can never match the simple and efficient knowledge and science of the East, Asia and Russia, previously known as the allmighty USSR, The Soviet Union.
Reply:We are held back by the fanatics that object to stem cell research and any advancement of knowledge outside their book of lies, the bible.
Reply:Forced integration, bussing and bi-lingual education is what happened.





Otherwise, you're a dipSh!t who is too busy being a smartass liberal suck-up to appreciate the gravity of the problem with politicizing education.
Reply:To much money in a nonsense war.
Reply:The world stop falling for U.S propaganda. seriously, the U.S isnt the uber awesome country that her citizens believe she is.





the money that would be spent on research, engineering etc, is now diverted to soldiers in Iraq, weapons research, and the war on terror.
Reply:Too much of a focus on helping all survive...causes too many bad genes to perpetuate the species.





Either that or it's an educational brain fart.
Reply:The Asians happened! They are quite brilliant jeez what haven't they come up with? Over achievers!
Reply:We got too confident, and we let religious extremists start to call the shots on what can and cannot be taught in a classroom. That plus advancing intellectual laziness and a tendency to rest on our own laurels. The general public just seems to be content to coast on what the hard working scientists produce without trying to learn much about it.
Reply:We're waiting on the minorities to catch up, but their not so whoever is doing good at it now I wish them luck. I'll always wish my country wasn't as screwed up as it is. Take Care.





America well be the crappiest country in the world in another 20 years.
Reply:Our military budget is larger then the next 20 countries combined, that's what happened. We are not a country of limitless money. Consequently when we fund out military the money has to come out of somewhere. Currently our education system is ranked 17th in the world. But our Military might is unrivaled.
Reply:Scientists are staying in their own countries now. Remember Operation Paperclip? There is a good spread of innovation around the world these days. You Americans still make the news, look at the Nobel prizes given out this week, but as the world depolarises there is no need for a centralization of resources.





Also, i wouldn’t be surprised if there was a link between a lack of scientific development and crazy religions. I mean look at how stem cell research has been stopped by religious groups, and human cloning. I don’t see why it should have any bearing on the scientific community what a bunch of people who willingly give up logical thought think.
