The one thing that has always frustrated and confused me about Americans is how they simply refuse to learn from others, and keep trying to figure out and fix things themselves. We have countries with thousands of years worth of trials, errors, and fixed mistakes to learn from, but America, being only 250 years old, thinks it knows better and can figure things out better on its own. We have tons of other education systems to examine, from places that are kicking our ass when it comes to math, science, and culture. Why are we so arrogant that we forcefully put on blinders and just keep throwing shit ideas at the wall to see what sticks, or trying to throw money at the problem to make it go away, instead of picking the best ideas from all parts of the world to be the best period?
LOL what is 250 years old? America is two continents, fool. Is china 50 years old?
The most advanced agricultural engineers of all history lived in America thousands of years ago. The education system is really good at what it was designed for.. keeping people dumb. you can read about the philosophy of the people that set it up they are pretty explicit. Sadly that kind of populace isn't as productive as it was when it was set up.
