But I see no real reason to continue this debate, as I my opinions seem to be thought of as completely irrelevant, misguided and stupid, before I have even raised any.
Umm, you have already stated your opinion. You said the claim that the American education system was broken is nonsense. You said kids today learned more then kids in the 1950s. We said, no because the culture towards learning in America is different. I would like to hear more of your ideas, but you shouldn't walk into a topic wrapped in American culture and say, all this is nonsense.
