As a very smart American, but one who never completed college level coursework, I can say that the administration of our schools at all levels concerns me. I have been noticing more as the years go by, how "not smart" some of my fellow Americans are. But America is a "Who you know, not what you know" Society, so I am a smart guy working in many jobs where I end up having to take orders from very, very dumb people. Story of my life, I am not kidding. In many American companies, having ambition, for a guy like me, is totally counterproductive. Strange, but true. American leaders talk about diversity in our workplace and society, and talk about us as though we are a "meritocracy" but exactly the opposite is true: mediocrity and nativism rule here. We have lost our Bill of Rights and our U.S. Constitution in recent weeks, without so much as a murmur of protest. That's plain dumb. I started this post intending a defense of America, but there you go. As for that beauty queen, I think anyone trying to think their way through an answer while nervously speaking onstage before an audience, can be forgiven her momentary lapse of lucidity. I am certain she is smart enough to function in normal life.

methinks the problem is the teachers

methinks they ate up all the money

methinks i am lucky to have a good education status in sg

I can give an essay of my answer but I will answer this question in 2 words:

HELL YES

Heck yeah you are. I envy you JJ.

Public schools should take better care in hiring teachers. I have had enough time-wasting teachers just to be a bit irked about it.

Private schools are sometimes like that. Of course ive never been to a public school so I dont know how it is.

never been to american high schools before, maybe i can try to apply for an exchange program or something

from what you guys said, it can't be that boring

or is it?

Oh god u dont even know the half of it if the teachers dont care if u get a good education or not......

What exactly do you mean by nativism? What exactly are you referring to in recent weeks about the Bill of Rights and Constitution?

It may be interesting for you to look at the students but that's about all there is.

and aren't you in college already?

So true. Many teachers waste their time screaming at the students than teaching them. Students in America aren't willing to learn...xD They just want to party and be rebellious.

Heck, I don't enjoy schoolwork. But I always love to learn new things and try my best rather than slack off.
