I think most people in America believe that our education system is broken. However, the inner schools are the biggest problems. When they do the rankings, they include their performance along with the good schools. Their performance is so bad that it brings the average down substantially. That is the main reason why we rank so low compared to the rest of the world. If we just got rid of those schools, and keep the serious ones, then our global ranking wouldn't be so bad.
If more people saw first hand what I've seen of kids that are graduated from high school in the inner cities they'd demand radical changes.
Maybe if those failing schools went back to sending the most unruly kids that don't want an education to the kind of reform schools we once had, things would start to change. But Democrat politicians who get such huge funding from the unions would never go along with that.
