Comment: Boots, the US has the highest cost per student and some of the dumbest 1st world public school students. Throwing money at a failed system is not going to solve jack. Most kids these days graduate public high school and can't count basic math. Just yesterday I was at the Cheesecake Factory and the poor young waitress couldn't do basic math to split my bill in half without a calculator even if her life depended on it! Absolute joke of a education system these days as teachers had to dumb down the entire system to accommodate stupid and teaching Spanish because stupid illegals refuse to learn Engwish.
