United sates out spend every country on the planet on education

That might be true but per student that is false. The country is so large that is the only reason why they spend as much as they do.

Alex C you mean those overpaid administrators and contractors for the state should take a pay cut? Get out of here with your logic

1. Kids aren't voters. 2. Not all taxpayers in the school district have children, and will often not be all smiles and puppy dogs when asked to pay more in taxes for those that do have kids. 3. When you have a portion of the taxpayers not getting raises themselves for a few years, it's a hard sell to get them to vote in favor of tax increases to give teachers raises. Those tax payers are just as likely to say something to the effect of "when I get a pay raise, then I'll think about giving you one".

Alex C because someone gotta flex and it ain’t the kids

Immigrants need to know English before entering this country.

It will not. Don't worry though, owners of those businesses send their kids to private school.

They have paid property tax already.

Hume Spike tell that to the Republicans.

Society SHOULD be responsible for school funding. The only way to be successful as a country is to have a well educated populous, its creates more people that can add to the country's wealth and productivity and fewer idiots who can't support themselves or the families they create.

Let me put it this way, if you don't pay the incredibly small amount you're required to pay to fund schools, you will create a generation of people who can't contribute to the society you live in. This raises crime rates, murder rates, homelessness, poverty, across the board. You're minuscule amount of taxes paid into the education system will help improve your life directly, as the places you live in and work in will not be burdened by the people left behind. You help yourself by helping other people. Private schools CAN'T meet the demand for education that this country requires to remain competitive in the modern world. Our public school system is already underfunded and overwhelmed. Privatizing can's solve everything.

Funding decreased in Kansas, the video said that

No, funding hasn't increased. It's been repeatedly cut, mostly in Red states. Funding is only a part of the problem, but privatizing doesn't fix any of these problems. There are currently private schools in this country that teach children that the Loch Ness monster is a real thing to help deny evolution. That's what private education can get you, no standards for content, zero oversight and children brought up with a tenuous grasp on reality.

Only if your poor that's what yall don't understand the black people who wanted all these immigrants because they are there brothers right? They will be the ones that suffer not the rich white people and the white people tried to warn the blacks and tried to stop immigration but yall wouldn't hear it yall made your bed now lay in it!

@@zackarymorgan2754 Education budget did not go down because illegal immigrants.

do you not see how Colorado has handled it they have taxed the hell out of it and have one of the most lucrative school funding systems in the nation and small business thrive off it. and in regard to minors smoking it dude they are going to get it no matter how hard we try.

J6Nix yea while people are using weed as a bandaid for their stress, we can use it to fund schools. Perfect. I'm not being sarcastic

If memory serves, the first $50 million annually of Colorado's marijuana revenues goes to building and maintaining schools. After that, it goes the general fund. There are two tiers of taxes on marijuana: state tax and city/county tax.

What a logic 🤣🤣 only a stoned person can come with it.

I love that people still reply to this 4 years later.

Far more money spent on imprisonment

Smartest comment on here. Well said

Scott BC31H imprisonments is techically a part of education, since you are punishing them, so they remember not to do what they did. You may think that it’s much more easier if you just leave them their. But, then it would be inhumane

I Don't Mine right except prisons systems are more so designed for punishment. Coupled with the fact that the system preys on under-educated and low income individual whilst locking up millions of low level drug offenders. Prison sentences consistently increase and the focus on punishment instead of rehabilitation leads to an 80% recidivism rate. So yeah, it’s a waste of money

@@scottbc31h22 factually incorrect

Norway is one of the best countries, we should all follow its lead

Greg Miller moron, this is such a low effort and oversimplified way or thinking about this issue.

Norway is only so good because of its extreme tax rate. Americans would revolt if they had anything above 30% tax rate, even if it meant free healthcare and post-secondary education.

Fist off no and second private schools are a good things considering they dont need state funding.

***** They still cost less and produce better results.

All they do is swallow tide pods so I doubt that will ever happen

You’re right!

It took 3 years though? I came to US when I was 9 without knowing english and I started speaking English jn 3-4 months. Now it took me few years to catch up in my writing and reading levels. But kids should learn any language quick.

Joey Sparetti young people today make their judgements on "feelings" not actual facts, much like saying their is more than two genders, honestly my generation is completely fucked

dog guy We must not give up on a better future for there a some who can lead our generation correctly. Give it time.

Joey Sparetti until malenials stop asking "give me free stuff" then I will vote for a newer generation, because I will not vote to pay for someone's collage tuition so they can get a gender studies degree

dog guy Bernie Sanders is a socialist. Certain college degrees and trade schools should be free. College as mandatory as highschool. No dropping out. Non compliance will result in military or prison but doing this will reduce and eventually eliminate welfare dependence and the other consequences of dropping out and lack of education. We need leaders with radical ideas. The millenials need a millenial leader. Millenials are starting to get into politics so give it time.

Joey Sparetti I do agree with you on trade schools but also remember tuition is considered a tax break, so is everything associated with it like textbooks, and even computers

luis rodriguez gotta get that oil somehow

School funding isn’t the main problem, it’s the classroom structure. They focus on results not the needs. In elementary school, there’s the math nerds that could probably start pre-algebra in like 3rd or 4th grade. They should get to move on or spend more time on English or whatever they need to improve on instead of being stuck with equal time on everything on a level that isn’t best for them.

Luis, the military is a constitutionally mandated requirement of the federal government. Education is not. Case closed.

Schools are state funded

Not adequate in some areas

iroeky lmao u think trump is smart enough to understand that the us has enough nuclear bombs to f the whole earth they really should spend on other stuff but I’m not America 🇨🇦

Dude, you're just wrong. It's the Federal government's primary responsibility to defend this country from enemies, foreign and domestic, which means military and police. Education, on the other hand, is a local responsibility!!! Sounds like you failed civics in school, if you don't understand this.

Usa spend 18% of tax money on Education And only 13% for millitary www.usgovernmentspending.com/ And education is paid by property tax that is state tax, while millitary from federal taxes So you won't increase education spending by reducing millitary It's different budgets Anyway education is about smart teachers and understable books, you cannot buy anything of this with money All you can buy is equipment that is useless for people that don't know theory

This doesn't even make any sense

we need to stop the hispanic migration. its been killing our country for the past 30 years.

John Kim sweden and canada 😅 american imaginary supremacy not based not on facts need to be broken

John Kim ny

That stat is usless as you need per capita spending for a comparison. Otherwise total spending in CA will obviously be high given she has the highest population in the US and even has a high population compared to many countries.

California is the most populous state and has a population larger than most countries. Their expense per student also isn't the largest in the US.

"California schools spent $10,291 per K-12 student that year, or about $1,900 less than the $12,252 per student spent by the nation as a whole." Based on data from 2013, "EdWeek, a publication that covers K-12 education, ranked California 46th in per student spending, also using a cost of living adjustment." (all from Politifact California)

Mister Mood They don't want people capable of critical thinking, because then they begin to question their leaders, the powers that be, and the status quo. They aren't interested in having a well-educated populace. They want people just smart enough to run the machines and dumb enough to passively accept it.

Yeah and in several parts of America (now hundreds) science books are being replaced with the Holy Bible.

Andrew Von Wolfenstein I understand this because I have adhd and adhd kids are treated fairly

wrong, public spending for the military and public schools is roughly the same

Al Quinn no

Lier, usa spend only 13% for defense And 18% for education www.usgovernmentspending.com/ Education is about smart clear teachers and understable books You cannot buy one of this with money And according to you usa have only 1,6 trillion tax money While government budget is 8 trillion

@@bris0rv105 I was talking about federal spending, that includes state. this is the website i had used, I wasnt lying lmao. www.nationalpriorities.org/budget-basics/federal-budget-101/spending/

​@@bris0rv105 But also you can pay for teachers and good books with money, thats the whole problem. People are not willing to invest and learn to become a teacher because the return on investment is abysmal, their pay is shit. Money would absolutely incentiveise more people to become teachers, something we desperately need, as the ratio in my area is around 30 students to one teacher. Another issue with the system, specifically the state funding system is that schools are funded based on the economic status of the people in the school zone, so schools in rich areas get better funding. a lot of the funding is state, and that is what is unequally distributed to rich schools. So that federal spending amount I was talking about earlier is the only part that is universally distributed to all schools, and im not even sure that that money gets properly distributed. SO i guess really the main problem isnt just the lack of money, but the fact that most of that money ends up in a very small portion of the hands that need it. www.ascd.org/publications/educational-leadership/may02/vol59/num08/Unequal-School-Funding-in-the-United-States.aspx Also its my understanding that a good chunk of the funding goes to superintendent paychecks and the salaries of other higher ups, not actually to resources for the school. but I dot have a direct source for that.

Imagine if the U.S. did the same. It would be a better place.

@Tamera Bonner not exactly. They speak to you in French and once they are satisfied with you struggling through the language enough then they start speaking English. Funny Black French people were not at all like that. Very kind and friendly and helpful.

JadedJassy21 FACTS

How would that even happen

@@thatgui88 Drive public schools into the ground through lack of funding and excessive assessment testing. Charter schools are then brought in paying teachers and other staff half as much, but executives 4x as much. These schools instantly have little to no assessment testing giving both more instruction time and less knowledge how much kids are learning. Lastly these private schools will pick and choose their students artificial making themselves look fantastic. Legislators (receiving donations from these executives and companies) then in turn are given more funding.

midnight marauder FACTS

Middle class have living wage But problem that only half of USA is middle class now

Yet apparently you didn't learn the difference between an anecdote and research-backed facts. No, people do not magically learn Spanish easier in Spain, no, the problem isn't teachers. There are plenty of people in Spain who don't speak Spanish-- sounds like you don't get out much. Also, Basic Intercommunicative Skills (BICS) and Cognitive Academic Language Proficiency (CALP) are not the same thing. So you hear someone chat with a friend in Spanish, and and argue they have learned Spanish just fine, but the professor grading their research paper or their the boss reading their email is going to have a totally different opinion.

​@J Globetrotter kids can learn any language fast. It's the adults that can't. I learned English when I was 9 in America and it was pretty fast, but reading and writing it took few years to catch up to standard grade level. The ESL class was only for an an hour a day rest of the time was regular classes.

I found the segment interesting and informative. The comments not so much, I scrolled down and read. I was just about to give up until I noticed your comment. Thank you. Your comment has given me peace of mind that there are some people who are thinking critically about this issue. Again thank you.

The reason they pay for cheap labor is to keep the cost of products down. If we start paying people because they are the best candidates, then be prepared to pay the price!

Jess A If your working and making a decent living then the cost of the product isn't a problem. If the comapnies aren't hiring Americans but they expect Americans to buy their products, well the price of the product won't matter because with no jobs no one here can afford to buy it anyway! Duh

"But if your kids don't speak English they shouldn't be in public school." What??? You learn English by going to school. I didn't speak English when I first got to the US. I learned English in a public elementary school and last year I graduated with a Ph.D. in physics from Harvard. How is not teaching immigrant children English a solution to anything? How many languages where you fluent in when you were 5 years old? To require children to speak English before moving to a country or be able to go to school is laughably stupid. Fix the country's broken school system. Immigrants didn't give tax cuts to the rich and make budget cuts to public schools. Immigrants are not the problem.

If these children didn't attend public schools then states would have to come up with a entirely different way to get them to learn. That in and of itself would take it's own budget, teachers, supplies ect. Its honesty cheaper to just group them together with other English speaking children in public schools. Also the video states that many of the children are poor. Their parents can't afford to get them private tutors or special classes outside of public schools.

The teachers unions will make sure no changes are ever made to "their" system. Remember that it's "their system", not yours. Governors are complicit in the extortion game, because they know who "runs the machine."

Kickazzmikey pain FACTS

BS. Research says otherwise. Nice that you think you magically learned languages despite the fact that there were certainly tons of resources being poured into teaching you, but your anecdote is meaningless anyway. Sounds like when you were "absorbing language" you missed out on some other key aspects of education.

Good thing the US spends an incredible amount of money on education then

Yeah but most people don't use the internet for education they use it for porn and cat videos, most people art disciplined enough for self-education.
