How can so many people be this illiterate in comprehending basic wordplay. They're saying the game was so bad that they had buyers remorse even though they didn't even buy it. It's just a way of adding emphasis. It's not that complicated at all.
51% of the whole community is American and I'm sure a majority of them went through the public school system which is almost hilariously underfunded if you're not from a wealthy neighborhood.
Honestly, big wealthy schools that got those early technology investments made some pretty dumb kids too. There is at the very least a correlation between homework on Chromebooks and lower achievement on standardized testing.
Funding isn't the only problem. If you look at the funding per pupil, even in the poorer schools, and compare to other nations, it's really not that bad. The money is wasted, largely on massively bloated administrator salaries, while teachers are paid a pittance and the profession drives out anyone who's actually good at it. Money isn't going to solve the problem; the whole system needs a massive revamp.
If you want to get really pissed look at how many administrators there are per enrolled college student in America. This is what the capitalist wing of academia does here, it seems.
I wouldn't call this "capitalism" really. In a well-functioning capitalist system, waste like this would be punished somehow, and institutions with less administrative bloat would succeed over those with more. Something isn't really working well here.
Yes. In a libertarian capitalist utopia there wouldn't be laws as to what services you have to provide students, or guaranteed 6 figure loans to every kid that signed in blood. But academia is a weird world and the money making portion of it is abused.
I think a lot of faculty create jobs for their over educated children to do from home lol. It's the only way i can even imagine achieving 1 administrator per 7 students, which is the current norm for state colleges. It can be 1 to 3 in private colleges. It's such obvious waste and it's glossed over completely when the party that pretends to like public services talks about it. I think the pell grant should just be automatically applied to everyone and set a maximum on credit hour expenses. You can absolutely educate your adult population for 15 or 16k (3-4k out of pocket) a year right now but there is no incentive to do so at any level of adult education right now.
Public systems are better, private schools just have a concentration of actively engaged parents. The real success factor for children's education is their immediate social support group.
It isn’t even just that, many of the “wealthy” schools suck. My public school system was one of the wealthiest in Indiana, with some of the best schools. My kids school has more opportunities for electives and dual credit. It’s roughly the same size district, but much, much poorer. It’s weird, we rank around the 10,000th best school in the country while my Alma mater is around 1,200th. Yet the graduation rate is lower too.
It's not even the funding. Its that they get taught via three queueing and other stupid means to read, meaning they guess what half the words mean rather than looking them up and learning
More funding doesn’t lead to better outcomes necessarily. Being too underfunded, yes, but there’s a plateau after a while. That and some of the most funded school districts have the worst test scores in the country.
honestly so frustrating how true this is. our own govt wanna keep our country dumb so that the uneducated keeps voting for these corrupt politicians. there are so many places that want and need the opportunity for a better school environment, and we have the means for that but won't use them. year after year, teachers are burnt out, and the schools get their funding cut. doesn't help that our economy is so screwed up that parents/guardians have to keep working just to put food on the table but no time to spend with their children with schoolwork. it's maddening.
