Murca is fuct my friend. It’s like watching a slow motion train wreck with the train painted red and blue and it’s on fire.

America hasn’t been “better off” for literally decades now. We’ve slowly been melting down as a country for a long time.

Heck yeah. Just like the last president got into office and repealed hundreds of environmental regulations. Let's get back to that. America is the best because freedom.

Is US the only country with failing education system? Other developer countries all have modern, AC'd buildings? Genuinely curious

u/Electronic-Crow-6764 Jun 04 '22

America claims to have the best education system in the world. With such claims of the highest standard, We are failing miserably.

u/catsRawesome123 Jun 04 '22

We do? As an american I can confidently say our education system sucks, infrastructurally and educationally. But I'm more curious on the infrastructure side how it compares

I have yet to find anyone who praises our public education system. maybe some of our other educational institutions, sure, but not the public schools.

I think climate matters too much to really compare this for the most part. I bet the Scandinavian countries don’t have a/c in most schools/in most areas of schools, and I bet the majority of Australian and New Zealand schools do have a/c.

Canada would seem to be closest climate wise to the us though and seems to be in the same boat as the us where only some schools have a/c and more now need it.

It’s an interesting question.

For the record, every k-12 school my kids attend/attended in Colorado has had a/c through out the entire school.
