That’s the same in any other developed nation, just not the one that affects us all globally the most. Fuck’s sake

Well said. The US should learn from Czechoslovakia’s emphasis on education.
The Czech education system is based on a long tradition beginning in 1774, when compulsory school attendance was instituted. The current literacy rate in the country is above 99%.

The US was downgraded to a developing nation.
The U.S. currently ranks 21st on the United Nations Development Program’s index, which measures fewer factors than the sustainable development index. Good results in average income per person – $64,765 – and an average 13.7 years of schooling situate the United States squarely in the developed world.

Average age of a globe/map in a US classroom is old enough whether the teacher had to explain why there’s only 49 stars
