Posted by SMAZ on Thu Jan 5 04:21:01 2012, in response to OP-ED: What Americans keep ignoring about Finland's school success, posted by Concourse Express on Wed Jan 4 16:52:52 2012. The whole basis of the US education system is the separation of income classes, not education.It's why he have tens of thousands of byzantine and inefficient independent school districts and the exorbitant, communistic property taxes they command to support them. The premise of the upper-class white American parent is to make sure that their kids, no matter how stupid, never mix with the riff-raff (of any race) at school or outside of it and they will do whatever it takes to make that happen, whether it's paying overpriced private school tuition, crippling property taxes for exclusive communities or sky-high real estate prices in urban neighborhoods where their local schools fall within the "right zoning". THAT is what nobody wants to talk about. |
