| Public schools are not bad, but the top private schools are better in terms of prestige and resources.
The reason why public schools are superior in some other countries is because the NATIONAL government takes an interest and active role in funding and organizing the school. Other countries have standardized tests that selectively determine the smartest students in the nation who have the most potential. Furthermore, other countries like Japan, unlike the US, dont have this notion of No Child Left Behind...theyll leave behind children if theyre not smart enough, leaving them with just the cream of the crop, which they provide with excellent public education to provide for the future of the nation.
In the US, none of this holds true...something else to keep in mind. |
