Why America government (public) school kids can't compete

In Oakland, CA parents are protesting that their kids should help out with janitorial services in order to save money that is simply not there for education and janitorial services.  In Japan, the children do all the cleaning, and all the light maintenance on their school. It saves a lot of money, and it teaches the kids a valuable lesson on being good stewards of their school. But how are their academics compared to America’s?  I think you know that answer.  Almost every country in the world is eating our lunch as far as academics is concerned! And no matter how much we spend! For instance, $16,000 per year per student in Baltimore. Almost no kids are proficient in math and language. When I went to school and SATS were at an all time high, our parents weren’t ashamed to have their kids do the janitorial work. And no kids resented doing the work!Support the show#Political/Conservative/Judeo/Christian/Constitutional
