The schools are so messed up in the US. Best to just educate children yourself as best you can. As for college kids, best to travel abroad.

It's too bad the US is a giant cesspool that I wouldn't recommend anybody travel to, let alone live in.


As claimed by US publication using their own US biases for ranking :)


It's a British publication.

Choose any other well-regarded ranking and you'll get similar results.


E.g. The Shanghai AWRU index 2015 has 15 US schools in the top 20.

If kids fail to learn social skills and how to deal with society, they will pay a steep price once they reach adulthood.


So you're saying raising stupid, uneducated kids that have learned to be bullied or be bullies, are better off than smart, educated, properly socialized children?

You're part of the problem.


That's not at all what I am saying and you know it. It's also a gross misrepresentation of both home-schooling and standard school life.


Is that so? How many messed up home schooled kids do you know then?
