America's public schools are terrible, but it's broadly true of public education across the world. The US is supposedly a bit worse than other nations, but we also have massive teachers unions suppressing innovation and subverting education whenever it benefits them financially or makes their jobs a little easier. It's an amazing system if you're a teacher, a kinda lousy one for students.

Disagree 1000%. The unions are needed, and that job is not one people want to take at the moment - hence the current teacher shortage. Sure, go to school and get a master's degree and in the end MAYBE you can make $45,000 a year. And deal with all of the kid's BS from parents that don't care anymore and aren't on your side - everything is your fault.

Education is being destroyed because it has turned into a job no one in their right mind would take. The requirements vs pay vs job conditions aren't worth it anymore. It used to be tolerable because even though you had crappy pay you would get good benefits and a pension - but even that is gone now.
