Easily not for another 10+ years honestly. Maybe less if American schools got less of a hard on for F O O T B A L L S

...or if they could stop shooting each other
for the lulz and the porn. what better to do at 9 pm on a wednesday when the wife is going to sleep early?
I'm not saying the system is anything great, but its better than 3rd world countries
That makes sense
Why would you get a PHD in engineering. I’m going to get my bachelors soon and it seems better to just go into industry. Unless you have extreme raw talent to really make something groundbreaking that is.
it depends on your interests. i worked in industry (areospace) for 2 years before going back for the phd. the r&d side is more interesting to me. no reason a phd is necessary if you are competent
that picture has to be fake. no school is that oblivious
has anyone ever used one of those things in a public school ?
> immediate lead poisoning
anyone tell me what it is? looks like a sink to me but I'm puzzled
yeah actually there was a kid in highschool who put salt in his eyes and had to use one of those
its an eyewasher
Emergency eye washing station. Usually in science labs.
eye wash station, usually in chemistry classes
what bad about an eye washing station? I think we had an emergency shower in chemistry
You're an idiot
There is no "American School System."
Schools in the US are mostly locally funded and managed.
When will Yuropoors stop obsessing over America?
Look closer
So there isn’t a big system controlling schools, but that doesn’t explain why most of them suck
i guess i dont care enough why sticking branches in there is such a big deal
I live in a 3rd world shit hole where something like this isn't such a big deal
Most of them are pretty good, actually.
You're just a dumb faggot.
i've really no idea what the problem is
kek
This.
Its only fucked because they're not bothering to do any reform of what is being taught. Money is becoming a much larger issue that people deal with, yet there are no mandatory classes that teach students anything about money. God forbid we know that the mitochondria is powerhouse of the cell or some dumb shit.

Probably because its assumed that if you passed your basic math classes you should be able to balance a checkbook.

This. I remember learning only the basics about money. A little about how it works and some programs that exist. But I never learned how to actually handle and take care of money.
no shit sherlock
What part of NC?
Public school towards Cary isn't too bad but out towards Hickory it's total shit.
weak and predictable
I'm screwed
Thanks for the bumps
Never. What gets to me is how everyone talks about the public education system as though it's the same all over the country. It's not even the same in each city. I wish the standards were the same everywhere. Then we'd at least have a real idea of how fucked it really is.
and the students probably effect how each school runs, right?
A bit, but mostly it's funding, management and staffing that fail the students.
>no reason a phd is necessary if you are competent
100% agree. Learn how to do the work, do the work, advance and contribute as appropriate and/or desired. Fancy titles are for people that didn't get hugged enough
when the teachers unions are put in check
Thought I'd leave this here
some jobs require titles. how would they know you're qualified (despite having no title)? they dont know you and cant even interview a tenth of the people that apply
guess you're planning to spend your life in the same company
Agreed, not everyone can be part of the 1%.
Is the fact that there is no central control the reason why non americans keep hearing mad stories about schools still pretty much denying evolution and teaching creationism as fact in some areas. Or is that all bullshit
weak and predictable
How old are you? The reason why school is harder is because we are moving away from memorizing facts, easymode, to actual learning and using applied knowledge from memorization, hard mode. There's a huge difference and it's an important one.
the thing you describe "is happening" can't be implemented on the scale of the US, and thats precisely the problem. because there is no central authority to formulate such a plan and execute it
its a baby marijuana plant tardo
Every teacher and administrator I know says it's fucked. Every student says it's fucked. Who's denying it's fucked? Betsy Devos?
