Class sizes are too large. Teachers don't get paid enough so they don't attract quality teachers. Bad teaches are retained and teachers have little freedom to set the curriculum.
no, it's bad because those in power like it that way. they want ignorant, slavish, dependant people who can't challenge them for supremacy, just like all psychopaths would. the last thing they want is informed, knowledgeable, independant, freethinking humans.

I think it is using black magic, "god's will", hocus pocus, abracadabra or something similar. God works in mysterious ways.

Actually it is a self-perpetuating system. Why do you think 3rd parties are shut out?

It's Coke versus Pepsi with both parties telling us they are different from the other.

I just realized that we can never let Puerto Rico become a state because there isn't room for another star on the flag.
