Film: U.S. Students Can't Compete in High-Tech World
"Bob Compton, an Indianapolis venture-capitalist-turned-filmmaker, has produced a controversial new documentary called "2 Million Minutes" that looks at how American education falls short in today's global economy.
"What I saw in the K-12 schools absolutely shocked me in both India and China. & I became very concerned about the competitiveness of my own daughters' education," Compton said on "Good Morning America."
He explained that the students he saw in those countries were "two and three years ahead" of his daughters and their peers in America."
Meanwhile, just about one fifth of americans can gaze upon this filthy train wreck of maladministration and still chirp that the Bushistas are doing a heckuva job.

We have some neighbors from the middle east who had their children enrolled in the local public schools. After one year, they opted to enroll them in an online program where they also gather with other kids in the same program locally. They are now almost two years ahead of their public school peers.
I recall a few years back when I befriended a young teen girl. I used to help her with her english and writing assignments. I was continously appalled over how her teacher would give her high marks on papers that were full of grammatical (spelling, sentence structure, etc.) errors. I used to make her take her papers home and correct my own added red marks.
I'M SO PROUD of this fucking country.
It's absolutely appalling, and in my mind, done on purpose. The overlords want us just knowledgeable enough to do menial tasks and follow orders but too slow and uninspired to ask questions or care. Distracted by the corrupt and insipid entertainment racket. Fluoride and chlorine in the water, chemtrails from above and of course we're swimming in a sea of harmful electromagnetic radiation. That we're ever so slightly sick all our lives and dependent on a corrupted medical system is gravy for them as they methodically dumb us down into oblivion.
