PrometheusMFD Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 School systems outside of the US are based off of intelligence, rather than age.It is a system we need to adopt.It is also partly why the US is as behind as it is in terms of grades.

PrometheusMFD Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Dude, ITEDs/ACTs/SATsTests like these count towards the average intelligence of the US more than any other tests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willieh Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 School is sheet. It doesn't tell you how intelligent someone is. It tells you how lazy a person is on average. The only kids who are actually measured academically by school are the slow ones. School needs to be redone completely. Things like sex ed should be removed completely. Sex ed should be up to the parents. Gym shouldn't be mandatory for graduation; in fact, they should get rid of Gym. They should have a recess for all grades through. Passing a grade should not have to do with your on average scores in class. Passing a grade should have to do with end of course exams and major tests. Class work grade percentage should be contributed to a record they should keep to you in school which would be forwarded to your future careers. This way the lazy could be lazy but it would cost them, the slow could have benefits just like they do now, and the intelligent lose nothing. This is all directed towards the US education system.

Holy Babylon Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 The United States is stupid. In fact, it was stated in the United States' education report that Kentucky was the 53rd state on the United States' intelligence rating. I hate high school and I hate high schoolers. Boy...I'm such a hypocrite. Note: I agree on the PE, Fine Arts, Music, and Sex Ed thing. We don't need them! I want to be an Aerospace Engineer! I don't need to know how to sing "The Fifth of April" to do that! I need real education.... Other Note: We should have four day weeks with a couple hours added to every other day of the week. It cuts back on 20% of expenses in schools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, on an average IQ survey, we scored about equal to Europe overall. In fact, we scored a few tenths of a point higher. :/ I believe it was, America: 98.1Europe: 97.9 Or something.

It is because a lot of people find that equal learning and trade schools condemn some people to a life of manual labor.It does, but it also makes them good at what they do, whcih results in a large salary early.(Plumbers make $40,000 a year once they have worked enough, and trade schools will make that reality a lot quicker) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holy Babylon Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 $40,000 is around average payroll. You could make $100,000 starting as an aircraft maintenance specialist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
