If you live in the United States you know how inadequate the public
education system is. The following report illustrates how American schools
are incompetent in the areas of science and mathematics education:
http://www.abcnews.com/sections/science/DailyNews/sciencemath981203.html
The articles refers to the education functions of Sweden, the Netherlands
and other countries. I realize this list is frequented by individuals from
various foreign countries. I am interested in what your own view of your
country's education function is and how it is structured (primarily public
or private, year-round or summer vacation, class lengths, curricula content,
science and mathematics approach, extracurricular activities, amount of
field trips, etc.)
A well-educated populace is generally a more rational populace. So that's
my tie-in to the list's subject matter. :)
