How do you view and value the education system provided in the United States?
What value do you place on the educational system provided within the United States? This includes but is not limited to Special Education for those students who learn differently than "regular students," and keep in mind that this "label" that most use includes students in Gifted Classroom setting and those in English as a Second Language classroom settings.
Thumbs up on the relevant question Ole.

students are not held to a high enough standard. Too much money is wasted on special needs students especially when it is in fact glorified baby sitting in some instances. Parents must take the time to teach the basics (social and academic) to their children. Parents are the best teachers. If you are including the gifted in special ed...no need to. They challenge themselves.

I think the governments want people to be less educated and easier to control, just a thought.

Look at where the U.S. schools are rated compared to the rest of the world.
(AP) The United States is losing ground in education, as peers across the globe zoom by with bigger gains in student achievement and school graduations, a study shows.
Among adults age 25 to 34, the U.S. is ninth among industrialized nations in the share of its population that has at least a high school degree. In the same age group, the United States ranks seventh, with Belgium, in the share of people who hold a college degree.
By both measures, the United States was first in the world as recently as 20 years ago, said Barry McGaw, director of education for the Paris-based Organization for Cooperation and Development. The 30-nation organization develops the yearly rankings as a way for countries to evaluate their education systems and determine whether to change their policies.
McGaw said that the United States remains atop the "knowledge economy," one that uses information to produce economic benefits. But, he said, "education's contribution to that economy is weakening, and you ought to be worrying."
The report bases its conclusions about achievement mainly on international test scores released last December. They show that compared with their peers in Europe, Asia and elsewhere, 15-year-olds in the United States are below average in applying math skills to real-life tasks.
Top performers included Finland, Korea, the Netherlands, Japan, Canada and Belgium.

Apparently the quality of today's teachers leaves something to be desired. Look at how many stupid young people are out there. I don't mean to be insulting, but when you ask a freshman in high school where is Italy on the map and they don't have a clue, what other word than stupid applies.
