America needs to invest in education if it wants to compete with China

Going all in on developing the strongest military might in the world is turning out to be a poor decision. Americans have such low human capital that they do not have enough workers to meet the demand of educated workers. The poor and stupid have an inferiority complex against educated liberals and this can be solved if these people became something of themselves.

If America keeps placing their entire budget into military, their only move left at the end is starting a war when the quality of life for the majority of Americans is in the gutter and a massive brain drain happens due to increased quality of life in other countries.

I might appreciate this more if most of the "educated liberals" I knew weren't complete morons and unemployable.

The US needs to remove barriers to education. When you hear people complain about universities being indoctrination centers, this is 100% true and it's probably even worse now.

Statistically this is actually untrue.

It's a well proven fact that blanket investing in education does not produce an ROI.

A healthy and stable home environment has significantly higher results in educational outcomes than throwing money at teachers and technology.

Facts.

Hmmmm, so section 8 housing, welfare, and chronic unemployment benefits go mostly to conservatives?

How about the liberal utopia of California? The most blue state in the country. Seems like its turned into a cesspool over the last 20 years.

The land of liberals governed by liberals, but you make a strong point. Surprised your red!

Facts.
I agree with the stable home life, but education is definitely important. However, more funding for education is not going to help at all, America simply doesn't have the education-valuing culture that Asia does. I heard (could be wrong but) that ghetto schools get more funding to uplift the poor students than any other area, yet they consistently do the worst. They [the students] just don't care. I never understood people who said there was something wrong with the education system, but frankly, all I did was study regularly and k-12 was literally so easy I had a mental breakdown when I wasn't the smartest kid anymore upon attending Uni. Nobody should be struggling unless they just don't care, school is legit hella easy brahs. The system currently is totally doable to succeed, and easily too, just have to have the right mindset. With that said, the solution should be putting money toward parenting classes, something hitting closer to the root. Parents caring about their kids' education is what drives kids to succeed. The kid didn't become lazy on their own, they just watched their parents. I'm sure these parenting classes could improve home life stability as well. So yes, we need education, but there's nothing you can do to the education system to improve it, only improve the people going into the system.

There's already an abundance of underemployed workers with degrees. What's the solution to that? "Investing in education" more doesn't seem to solve that issue, but probably exacerbate it.

Yes and no. Financially investing in education is something we already do. Per student, we spend more than almost any country in the world. We need to change our education system. Get rid of unions. Pay teachers based on outcomes. Fire bad ones. We’ve created a system where there is zero incentive to actually being a good teacher.

Investing in education in western countries where educated people mostly learn useless stuff is kinda pointless.

Investing in STEAM and research should be a good option instead, support those who bring innovation and competitive advantage to your nation and society instead.

Regarding the culture that does not value education sure you can blame media and the leftist trash they support but the truth is that its free market to make the salaries and no chance in hell a useless teacher no matter how many books she can quote, will ever be more useful than the guy doing the welding or the one unclogging the water pipes.

Investing in education sounds good in theory, but it doesn't work in practice. We have to take into consideration the cultural difference between China and Western society.

The Chinese are disciplined, hardworking, intelligent, cunning and ruthless. Their culture places emphasis on saving and preserving "face".... "face" means social standing.

If you're poor, you don't have face.
If you're dumb, you don't have face.
If you're aren't influential, you don't have face.

This is why the people of East Asia are some of the smartest and most ruthless people when it comes to financial and political success.

In the West, we have declined because we allow decadent social media culture to corrupt our youth. They don't want an education, and if they do, it's usually something retarded like Gender Studies...

I have many Asian clients, and you're 100% about the "Face" thing and how much value they place on social approval by peers. At the beginning on my career I actually lost some big clients because I didn't properly understand this concept and I told a lady to fuk off when she was yelling at me. I was definitely right, but it was such a big commission that I wish I would have been a little more patient.

I actually think the "Like" system on social media is a way to institute that type of culture here.

Invest in education of those who actually can and are willing to use it.

Putting higher standards on people with mental disabilities and//or IQ's under the 120's is counterproductive. Including me, but I know of some brilliant people who basically got missed by the system because it's set up for "everyone".

USA wont put proper education as a priority. You need dumb people in order to get a socialist state. Properly educated people, people who are aware of history, would never vote for socialism, which is why Cubans and Venezuelans didnt vote for Joe Biden. But dumb fukking Americans, especially liberal will demand to have socialism because they think we'll do it right

Remove the federal guaranteeing of student loans and make private banks take on the risk of issuing out student loans.

This will make it so student loans are given out to individuals who show the intellectual abilities to complete school in order to pay back their loan. This will then lower the cost of education making it more attainable by those who want it. This is done because the supply of money coming from federal backed student loans will be reduced so universities will have to adapt.

This will help to bolster the economy since a lot of student debt would be removed from the economy allowing those individuals to more readily spend those dollars that were freed.

Wont happen. Gov makes too much money off of loans. Not to mention, lefties will never stop calling for the half of us who pay taxes to cover the massive loan problem we have now

It needs to be a multi-pronged attack to eliminate it.

1. Financially motivate schools to remove those types of classes. This can be done two ways: A) defund schools that teach those subjects through cutting them off from tax dollars
B) Remove the federal backing of student loans so the lender has to assume the risk of the loan.

2. Have Congress pass a law or Department of Education make it so that criticism of Marxism and post modernism must be taught.
