we spend more on our Public schools than other countries. I guess we need to change that.

There is something unique (and wrong) with the US system that makes it much more expensive than systems in similar countries the world over. And it's something we need to fix. That works for me. My objection is to the knee-jerk "fix" that involves copying what the Euros do. That reaction strikes me as the sort of reaction you get from youngsters who blindly emulate the "cool kids." In certain circles, the Euros are the "cool kids." Now the next step for most people would be to look at the differences... That has been done to a large extent on this thread. I, alone, must have used the word, "variables" a bazillion times in argument. <g> But I still hear the litany repeated and repeated. Looking at the variables doesn't seem to have affected the cool-kids aura.
