Uncivilised seems a strong word. Uncivilised is when you drink dirty water, live in a hole in the ground and poo in the street, and the US is far from that. \n\nBut, your question seems to imply that, because there are some countries outside of the US where universities are cheaper, therefore, they are better. \n\nFirstly, I would say only Sweden has an education system equal to the US, where it is possible for all to afford to go to study at length. The UK (where I was a university lecturer) is phenomenally expensive now, and university has become the preserve of the children of the rich. Italy (where I work now) is a joke. Turn up to a class more than twice in 7 years and they call you 'Doctor'. China (where I also worked) is the only country I have worked in which is investing in its own future by making GREAT universities accessible to (almost) all. \n\nStill, all of this said, The US has the best education system in the world. But, my friend, it is a PRIVILEGE, not a RIGHT. If you want to go, be prepared to give something too, and not just take. Lucky you that you have so many choices available to you. Don't whine about that. And if you have no money to pay for it all...do like 90% of us educated outside of the US did...get a job and pay for it yourself. You would not be the first to do so.

They had to study their history without going on-line and cheating. You should have studied instead of goofing off. Now, you're against the wall, needing an answer because you were too lazy in school. HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! TOO BAD!

As pretty513 has just confirmed - many Americans are quite dumb. I have no idea whether this is the fault of the education system. The UK's education system isn't great at the moment, but I came through it being able to spell and use correct grammar. Going by the spelling and grammar of many of the Americans on here, I think their education has failed them somewhat.

When I was young the drive was to get an education which didn’t necessarily always mean college.  Many joined the factories and enter apprentice programs some lasting 4 or more years.  It was not a liberal arts education but one in which they became masters in their field.\n\nOthers entered college and acquired a solid liberal arts education and built on that with additional education gaining master and Phd degrees in specialized fields.  \n\nEducation was important.  \n\nToday there seems to be a growing distain for education.  Literacy rates are decreasing and having an understanding of history or literature for many has become the exception and not the norm.  \n\nSome may equate this with getting a job in place of getting an education.  In this they are mistaken and will do well as hamburger flippers, but little else.  Increasingly an education which never ends is a requirement.  I’m 65 and have never ended my education.  College, getting a job but continuing to increase one’s knowledge is important because how things are done are changing.\n\nAt one time it wasn’t difficult to become an auto mechanic, to day it is a continual education not just as to how cars work, but understanding the machines that analyze the cars.  When I was young we built our own homes, today this is becoming increasingly difficult with new materials and new building codes.\n\nNot only get the education but plan on continuing that education.

My work doesn't suck. My lack of work sucks! I'm an interior designer with little or no clients!\n\nI went through University and received a Bachelor in History and English Literature.  Besides the fact that I never have to use spellcheck, and always know the answers on Jeopardy, my University Education was a waste of time.\n\nThis is not to say that all university eduction is a waste of time, but you have to make sure you're getting a useful diploma!!!\n\nThen I had to go back to school to become an interior designer!  I'm 29 years old and still have to live at home, because I used up all my money for school, and am getting no money from my job!\n\n(sorry, I really needed to rant!!!)

I like my questions to make sense.  I think you need to go back to school and learn how to read and write.

well, why don't you ask yourself some questions (which are probably addressed in the book, right?)...\n\n1. how would you find out the things you need to know if you didn't have school? \n\n2. how did people in the past educate themselves, without school? \n\n3. how do people right now educate themselves without schools? \n\n4. for those who educate themselves without school, what stands in the way of their education "counting"? (Hint: isn't it about the so-called "gate-keepers"? the people who decide what is an adequate education and what isn't?)\n\n5. what would a good world without schools look like? (meaning a world where life was generally a good, happy, healthy place.)

I return to college in my late 30s and it was easier to study then when I was in my late teens and 20s. I believe the reason is you have more of a social life when you are young. Also you might want to check on how you are situated in your classes. I found setting up front and near the instructor was a big help. I could hear and see better then setting in the back.\nI ask a lot of questions..this help me with my grades. \nAnd last...I work hard to get an A in the beginning because later on was when I started burning out. If my grade was already high in the beginning..I didn't drop but a few points in grade.     Hope this help.

Haha... wow... I know the feeling.\n\nFirst let me say that you haven't wasted your time by going to school for four years. Think of it this way: You now have all of that knowledge that nobody can ever take away from you. Even if you don't use it for a career, the knowledge you've gained will help shape and mold you into a really awesome and well-rounded person. \n\nNow, here's the real message: Don't be afraid to put school on hold for a little while. People overrate college sooo much it's not even funny. I'm almost 21 years old and I've only had one semester of college... but I'm not stupid, and I haven't missed anything - my life has just been different from my friends who went to college immediately after high school. I can definitely say that I'm much more mature than them, and I have a much better idea of what I want to study. Now, going to school is for me - not because someone tells me have to get a degree. I go because I know what I want out of life, and what I want to learn in the process. \n\nSo, in short, it's ok (and might even be healthy) if you take a step back and just get some life experience in without college. You have your entire life ahead of you! What's the rush? Take the time to learn more about yourself (in or outside of school) and you'll eventually stumble on what's right for you. :)

one you have an awesome pic.\n\ntwo i think you would be a great politician, as i had trouble with a lot of the statement but i know you are saying if we have peace, there would not be any war or bloodshed. \n\nsince that was for your government class i can see why you had an A for that class. i was lucky i did not have to take civics class in high school since i moved away from the state that required it.\n\nif you go into govt, just remember it is not your money to spend, it is our taxes that the govt spends.\n\ngood luck with whatever type of job you go into.

It's our school system's fault...we are required one year of American History and one year of World History...but all we learn about in World is maps and Wars. Most of us have not traveled because it's too expensive...everything here is too expensive! I haven't moved more than 50 miles from my birthplace, nor have most of the people I know. Family traditions I suppose.

People have different abilities. Teachers are responsible for recognising that. Ok so the students get a D, it isn't the end of the world... that was about my average in school, and granted at 21 im still studying but this is not a negative thing as I believe im just building a foundation and getting a thorough understanding of the world before i really enter it. I remember these words from my childhood "if at first you don't succeed try and try again" it doesn't matter how long it takes, you should tell students in this sitution that it is ok and they should take their time, after all the snail once the race not the hare.
