Singapore almost always takes 1st in international test scores and their long time leader didn't pull punches

So in a way you're right, US government does run their education system very well, it just seems to be a racial thing which can never be spoken about politically so it's just ignored as the elephant in the room
- VikingCoder 8y agoSince people were treated separately based on their race (slavery, no right to vote, no civil rights, redlining, segregated schools), it's not a surprise you can still measure the impacts of that decades later, based on race. It takes a long time to undo damage like that.
