I am sure kids also drop out of school in China too but since we are talking about America here we should know what many thousands of kids drop out of school every day. The reasons may be many but since the social cohesion is not there for these kids they feel the school a lot boring than exciting. The teachers pay is low but that does not mean that we should spend more on kids since the management of the spent money is the issue not the quantity.
Consistently we are reminded how the American kids are faring globally against their peers in the other developing and advance countries and the news does not seem to be that encouraging. The lesson we can learn from China is to put more emphasis on education, reduce the number of holidays and more time in the classroom and outside too. This is what our President is also emphasizing. Even with the No Child Left Behind act we are still nowhere where we should be as superpower. Everybody needs to step up to the plate from the teachers to parents, politicians to community and civic leaders to help our kids achieve their full potential.
I will discuss more of this later on in another topic.
