How many Mexicans, South American and inter-city kids do you think Canada and the UK have in their schools?
Test ONLY Americans and then lets look at the results.

Yeah - British and Canadian schools are much better than the US at teaching children from different ethnic backgrounds.
I think it is predominantly because we don't hate children simply because of their race.

Well i could also say test only Slovenians, thing is our Bosnians, Serbs and Croatian students have a harder time learning to read and write Slovenian do to a big difference in spelling, they write the way the word sounds we have some strange rules how to spell, the Serbs have an extra hard time at it because they have to learn the alphabet too they write in Cyrillic.
But it mostly depends on the person a girl came from Bosnia when i was in my second grade in high school she could not speak a word in Slovenian or read it in 3 months time you could hardly tell she was from Bosnia. While i cant understand how another student whose family came from Serbia and he lived all his life in Slovenia passed the language exams to get in to my high school.

schools
Hi onifre, not really a debate thread here.
How many Mexicans, South American and inter-city kids do you think Canada and the UK have in their schools?
So their implied failure in school is due to their ethnicity?
Canada and the UK also have large immigrant populations and their share of "inner-city" ghetto kids, but perhaps not to the extent of the US due to more acceptance of cultural diversity.
They also fund and operate schools differently. If you really want to discuss this issue you should start a new thread.
Enjoy.

Re: schools

Language issues and poverty issues make our schools look bad.
Those numbers, if they only reflected private schools, prep schools, and non-inter city public schools, would be seriously different.
So, when others make fun of the US educational system for not being up to par, or for US students being stupid, they're not making fun of rich, privilaged, mostly white kids who are educated in private and prep schools. They're really just making fun of our poor kids from the ghettos and and our latin kids from Mexico and South America who score so poorly that it brings our over-all numbers way down.
That's really hilarious. Thanks, Franko.

George Bush Jr. is a retarded immoral simpleton with elf ears.
There, I just made fun of a rich, privilaged, white kid who was educated in private and prep schools.

I'm not going to stand for you or anyone else insulting a great man. The man who pretty much fixed the Middle East deserves better. Not even a thank you from those animlas either.
It's like they don't even appreciate freedom over there?
