Sorry, CJ. We don't all have the scratch to put our kids in private schools. Maybe if the government would stop wasting my money on an endless and pointless war I'd have a little extra.

Why am I surprised you missed the point. The publik skool systems are kept in a miserable state ON PURPOSE.

By whom? Who is able to singlehandedly control the curriculum and pedagogy of millions of teachers? I understand that state-based minimum curriculum can be mandated by boards and what not, but in the classroom, how is it that teachers are controlled?

Teachers are controlled by the curriculum. Step away from the prescribed manual and see what happens. The Board of Education is very left of center and has been for too long.
What would happen if we adopted the Japanese model instead of the Gulag method? How about actually making economics a mandatory subject for at least three years before graduating high school? If you keep a large segment of the citizens under educated, they make for good drones. It's a way of building a caste system, which the democrats seem to prefer. The dem's have basically been in charge for the last 40 years, and this is where we are today. It's been one long road of failure, and certainly our skool systems are dropping lower and lower. As long as we lower the standards, no one will mind right?
I mind.

Oh I agree that our education system is SHIT - absolute SHIT! And it's certainly true that curriculum does control what is taught.
BUT - individual teachers can inspire students to look beyond this bullshit and to think for themselves. Individual teachers can point students in directions not guided by curriculum. So ultimately I think you underestimate what teachers can do and how pedagogy can work around a system designed to fail.
That being said, I merely want to elaborate my point that our education system in America is absolutely ridiculous. I agree wholeheartedly and I do think an environment of complacency has been solidified.

Fair enough - I dislike unions. I think they're an antiquated force whose purpose is wholly negative in today's age. Non-union parochial schools tend to perform better and I think the 'non-union' aspect is largely why.

Yes...unions are horribly in fashion now. Bleh... talk about a dinosaur.
I hear what you are saying and there are good teachers out there, but they are outnumbered by some terrible ones and administered badly to boot. Does a teacher connect with some? yes... but not hardly enough. Like needles in haystacks. Will some kids rise above? yes, those folks are always going to find a way. But the vast majority of our skool system is made from a different cloth, and our way of educating isn't saving these kids. It's almost as if they need them to fail. It almost seems like it is inefficient on purpose and ANY ideas to modernize or make progress is SHOT DOWN....... this country is losing its foundation.
