What Do You Think?

America needs to revamp it's education system.

Who believes that the education system in America is broken? I am not referring to East Haven, I am speaking in general. I have looked at the statistics and they are sad. According to the Huffington Post, the USA has a 77% graduation rate while other countries are ihgher such as Germany at 97%. The USA is 31st in mathematics. Mathematics is possibly the most important skill. 31st.... How sad is that? In science we are 23rd and this is yet another important subject. Students need this education. Great Britain, Japan, and Germany are the winners in education according to the Huffington Post. Here is the link:

So I ask again, who thinks our education system is broken and what can we do to fix it?
