Why is education so expensive? Why do we tolerate the "eduction industry"?

This is the 21st century. We live in a global age. Why do we need fucking college professors and books and classrooms and shit? Just upload everything online, distribute it freely, charge people for taking tests (Like ten dollars per test, to pay for paper and the supervisor making sure no one is cheating and shit.), and once everyone passes all required tests they get the diploma.

Free higher education for all is bullshit, because then you have people doing what happens in Europe, where lazy fuckfaces fritter around in low level college courses and game the system instead of getting jobs. People shouldn't be scot-free to waste everyone's time taking liberal arts courses on someone elses' dime.

Colleges should be a meritocracy of sorts, where those who show true potential are taken care of.

Start taking shit very seriously.

3 strikes and you're out policy on fuck-ups with students. If they don't want to learn, send them to the factories.

No "everyone wins" philosophy in grade school. Reward those who do well, secretly laugh at those who fail.

Give scholarships only to those students who got good grades. No skin color bias, no gender bias. If there is a scholarship to be given, it goes to the people with the best grades. If you want a scholarship, do fucking better in school.

Utterly cease encouraging fields of study that do not benefit the nation, and that you know there are no jobs in.

They prevent us from firing incompetent, lazy, and abusive teachers. There are some states where it's so bad, they basically just pay teachers to do nothing in order to get them out of the classroom, because it's actually cheaper to pay their salaries and have them do nothing than it is to try and fire them and go through the subsequent legal hassle.

I like this idea. I think this is probably the best approach to education in society, at least in a society where the internet exists. I mean, you can teach yourself anything you want by buying a book, given time and dedication.

Now, what that means, I think, is that there should be a few years of compulsory education where you are taught how to read, do basic maths, and write. After that though, I don't see why the current middle/high school system exists at all. It doesn't work. It just doesn't fucking work. Kids don't fucking want to learn. Good. Fuck 'em. Let them be stupid mindless wage slaves. The ones who want to learn will.

This approach also has the advantage of making sure each person learns what they find relevant and useful, not what the system dictates. Of course, that's the problem. We in this thread are aware, at least I think we are, that the education system in America is NOT meant to educate people. It is meant to indoctrinate them with the "accepted" truth and break children to the yoke of the system they will wear for the rest of their lives.

I don't understand how some people suffer extreme emotional discomfort at the thought that someone somewhere is a better swimmer than them, more committed to their career or better at math, to the point where they want the government to step in and drag others down to their decrepit level.

If they want to help the poor wouldn't it be better to reduce poverty or free them from oppression?

Sweden had a huge economic boom after the war, which they used to fuel their social programs, which in turn helped them to reach the forefront of technological development, which is why it still works.

Special ed hurts average students, too.

My high school biology class was "integrated" with the special ed program. Every year, one class in every subject was randomly selected for this and taught with both regular students and special ed classes.

This resulted in the class being utterly meaningless, and I had to teach myself by stealing a textbook and reading it on my own time, because we took literally weeks per chapter.

The problem is that under the current system parents are TOTALLY illiterate in even shit like algebra or who Kant is. In a system with a literate populace, parents themselves could give some useful input in what their kids should learn. But as we all know, most people are fucking retarded, so they outsource their children's education. Whatever, not everyone can teach this stuff.

But, with stuff like the internet there is just no goddamn excuse. Know dick about math? THERE ARE ONLINE COURSES ON LITERALLY EVERY TYPE OF MATH. Course wasn't comprehensive enough? ORDER A BOOK ON IT.

Just so you feel interested enough to watch the video i guess ill give a general over view.

Education has a lot of capital in it that isnt subject to the testing of profit margins.

We force kids to go to shitty schools, they cant be like "your school sucks, my taxes and I will go elsewhere"

We have the teachers union pricing old good teacher out of work, and also making new teachers have very little wage and no incentive's to have them work harder.

If we let people pick where they put the taxes and there children, then that means schools will compete for the best teachers so they can get the money. This means higher wages for GOOD teachers, and unemployed shitty teachers who ruin the lives of children.

Due to the fact that the real world cant swap right a way we don't need to worry about new schools popping up immediatly and causing public schools to become unfunded, however over time public schools will have to clean up there acts, or everyone who works there will be out of a job. Basically it makes administrators accountable for who they hire, and it makes parents actually be able to go get someones ass handed to them if they suck.

>>
Getting rid of teachers unions, equal funding across the board with extra cash for troubled schools.

No more of this passing kids for the sake of it or dropping standards, if you keep the standards high kids will rise to meet them.

Cut no child left behind and the Obama education plan.

Keep standardized testing but do not make the results public, and do not cut the funding because of it.

Cut the voucher system

Cut busing (minorities for the sake of it in schools).

No more thematic teaching in History and bring back real standards.

City schools are in dire straits, and they have been for years. Black kids don't want to learn. They don't want to even humor the teacher by sitting there, shutting their fucking faces and doing their work, maybe learning a thing or two in the process. It's a joke, anyone who's gone through school in the city can attest to it - if you're actually trying to learn, it's impossible. School from grades three and on are nothing but a sideshow of fights, disrespect, and all-around chimpouts.

The schools need to be able to strap on a dick and kick these fucking kids to the curb. Students who actually kind of give a shit suffer because the same problem students who are allowed by the state to sit back and fuck things up.

And that reason is to squeeze as much as possible out of the taxpayer. It has nothing to do with the quality of education, which should be the emphasis. To have the highest quality teachers, and motivate them, we need to be able to remove the dead wood. Teachers are paid by tenure, so that two teachers - one awful, and one star - will be paid the same. Therefore destroying the motivation of the good teacher to excel. Why should he bust his ass and devote his life to children, when he can just fuck off and get paid the same? Many tools are needed to inspire employees, and termination of underperformers is necessary. Without periodic cleanups of bad apples, any business will fail. Schools are no different.

The hallmark of an idiot is someone who compares the US to a tiny, irrelevant Nordic country.

That said, look up US education statistics when you control for poverty, the US is usually 1 or 2. Education is mostly fine, it could be tweaked at the college level (debt, etc) but poverty is what is really killing us. The US has millions of children in poverty or go to sleep hungry, that shit really fucks with educational potential and outlooks.

Decentralize schools.
Schools are too focused on tests and following what politicians tell them to do.
Finnish schools are considered some of the highest and when people went there to learn their secrets they found no private schools and very few to almost none testing.
The success comes from the fact that they are decentralized with each school doing its own thing.
I took IB classes in school and know how shitty our school was. Learning was ALWAYS curved on if we need it on the test or not. "Hey teacher! How do you do this in algebra?" "Oh don't worry about that, it's not gonna be on the test!"
It's all TEST TEST TEST TEST. And even then, aren't tests suppose to be to see what you know? Instead, that test is put on your grade which will follow you and will determine your college.

I remember having a project once in I think ninth grade? My first year of IB. Anyways, project where we had to learn how to correctly cite and research big research projects. We had to fill up 6 flash cards. First we did practice ones (each flash card was a quiz grade) and then later she told us how to revise them correctly individually. So 12 in total. 6 rough draft and 6 final. Yet, she graded the practice ones. Why? It's practice, why grade it? This is something schools always do. Why grade the practice and the showing of "how much you know"? This is pretty much how testing in America works.

>how to balance a checkbook
Learned it in home ec. Only spent a day on it, but honestly there's not much to learn about it. It's more of a cultural issue.

>public speaking (which I would hate, but you can't argue it's not needed)
They did public speaking in all classes especially sciences which they made an effort to because of the perception STEM = bad public speakers.

>how to repair basic problems with a car
Didn't do this, but not everyone drives.

>how to properly analyze and critique sources of information for bias
Did this throughout any early social studies class.

>internet safety, security, and etiquette
I don't know how it is now, but really it's not like old boomer ladies are going to be experts on this topic.

>basic computer useage and troubleshooting (if it exists, it's an elective only the nerds take)
Some kind of computer programming was required in my school.

>high school lit never focuses on contemporary media that students actually care about
This is one that I think is sorely needed. English classes need to take the emphasis off classic literature and make their students more well informed with current events and modern history. I mean Shakespeare is great and all, but seriously they need to get off his dick.

I went to a public school by the way, though it was a very highly rated one.

Canada fag checking in.

>It starts at home
We need to get parents on board here. I've noticed in my placement with my program that the kids who have shit parents are getting a far more shit education. We can't "entirely" blame the educational system. The first 7 years are most important, and half of that, the children are under the parents direct control entirely. We need to blame the parents first, then educators for not pushing their children hard enough, babyfying them, etc.

>Secondary languages optional
Psychology has taught us that knowing more than one language only has practical application for helping with some aspects (but not all) in memory. Languages such as French here, and Spanish in America, need to be made secondary/optional focuses

>Revamp what is taught
So I am a children studies/psychology student, and even I can see that the sciences and the mathematics needs to be reworked in both how they are taught, and when they are taught. Here and in America, it is a joke what is being taught. The stuff (such as trig intro, physics intro and bio/chem intro) was introduced in grade 8, with further basic principles being taught in grade 9, full courses available with specific content focus by grade 11. We still have the latter, but more foundational work earlier.

>Taxes, taxes, taxes
France as well as other nations have taught us that through a higher tax, we can achieve a better, stronger foundation for post secondary education. We need that. Sorry you have to pay $1.15 instead of $1.13 on your chocolate bar you fat cow, get over it.

>Understand we have failed
We have, we are, get over it. Only by educating the successive generations will there ever be a resolution to the educational crisis we are seeing.

It's not just capitalism, it's because of heavy government influence. When you guarantee loans for students regardless of degree, or cover medical costs for specific high risk groups, you're going to create bubbles. This is exactly what happened with the housing market.
>>

American schools have different levels of classes.
Standard, Honors, AP. If a rich kid is smart he'll have no problems with niggers for he will be in the AP classes. The only advantage private schools have over public is the fact that they aren't being told by politicians what to teach and food.

What does /pol/ think of lunch food in America? We give our kids worse food than what prisoners get and prisoners get fed by the system whereas kids have to pay.
>>
>>7776858
Nah.

Quite honestly, we need people who understand MORE about American history.

Most Americans sum up American history as "We beat the British because AMERICA FUCK YEAH, founding fathers, then umm something something then the civil war was fought over slavery, then we beat the Germans in WW2, and then Ronald Reagan won the Cold War a while later because the damn commies tried to nuke us."

Most Americans know less than most foreigners about important shit like, say, the fucking Constitution.

What people don't understand is that America is too big to copy finland.

If America had a amazing education system, then there would still be the same amount of unemployment. As there just isn't enough jobs to fill them.

Excluding Nursing, which is being filled by everyone and their grandma and Philippine invaders.

There isn't a big market for higher educated people, hell there isn't enough for the people already educated.

I'm in no way saying we shouldn't focus on education, far from it. But paying much higher taxes for schooling isn't going to magically fix this problem over night, or even in 20 or 30 fucking years.

Easy street? Well, didn't want to drag that into it but I guess it'd work.
Also fuck you America, and fuck your Ebonics. Education in Australia is almost as bad as yours since you brought that shit in as serious academia, and muddied everyone's thinking about what is important to teach kids about language. We've got an entire generation of illiterates who believe "It's not important how you spell words, it's the message in your essay that matters.", and as a result they don't even know enough words to convey the meaning in what they write.

Australia's education system is almost as bad as Americas. The government has been caught multiple times fudging literacy and math rates in the population, but to admit anything else would mean they'd have to spend money educating Australians, when they can get paid to take in Indians with cereal-box qualifications instead.

I think, as a society, students need a good grounding in the classics (like Shakespeare and shit) AND the ability to learn to analyze modern media.

Most people take literary analysis to be something only done on "high school lit" which is retarded.

Oh, yeah, and high schools should have a religions course, if only to slowly educate out retards who use the term "islamofascist" unironically.

australia used to have universal free education for universities. But people used to take advantage of it and just enroll in courses while collecting welfare money. So now we have something called hecs fee's for university education its essentially a loan you take from the government who pays for your education and once you start earn a certain wage you begin to pay it back through your taxes. Although you don't pay full price.
We have both full free primary and secondary schools. With private school education.
>>
>>7776978
welcome to /pol/, you must be new here

UK here.

We've had both state education and private education for several centuries.

It's been conclusively proven, and decide that private education and segregation is far better for all parties involved, because in education you always have to cater to the lowest common denominator, and so the government is slowly scrapping the state education system in favour of a much more effective private education system, with state provided vouchers for those who can't pay. You'll still need to get the grades to go to them though.

It's known as the "academy" system.

Eliminate the Department of Education.

Don't listen to idiots who think a welfare state that works in countries with the largest per capita trade surplusses in the world is going to work in a country with massive trade defecits.

In my state, driver's ed was the required responsibility of the person getting the license. I think this is best instead of subsidizing it through public education. I didn't learn any car maintenance during those classes though, which is something they should include I agree.

I also think self defense would be a great idea in some schools (beyond gay ass wrassling which we did). The potential for injury and lawsuits seems to make it prohibitive, however.
