    I hope you are a young person. Over time you will learn that understanding a field takes time and that you need to spend months to get the required minimum knowledge for it. I suggest to you to actually speak with people who work in the field and do research in the field, then you will have done a short cut and can judge whether you want to help fix the problem, the structures or help individuals or if you just wanted to be right online, no matter the real life consequences for people around you.

    In any case you are currently lacking the knowledge to differentiate terms, how they are used and how certain numbers are generated. Instead of trying to become an expert I recommend to you again: Speak with the experts, it is a great shortcut.

    Besides that you haven't demonstrated that you are willing to discuss, learn or do your work, which means that you aren't really a person to be argued with online.

      I havent claimed to be an expert I have asked for support to claim that America's education system is terrible as was inferred. You linked me a high view course with many different topics and have not given any indication that you know about this topic.

      You speak in generalities and tell me to find out the specifics for myself. If you asked me questions about my field in computer science I would be specific and try to be helpful for someone wanting to learn more about it.

      Yes I am lacking knowledge on this topic. But I have a brain and when I see someone disparage a country's education system based off of a single percentage statistic I'm allowed to shit on it. The onus in on the person who makes a claim.

        Yes, cause you don't deserve it. Information is at your finger tips, you can't comprehend them as you are not an expert of the domain, but you know how to contact some. While not always if one brings an extraordinary claim - like you did - or is uninformed their speech and sentiment is not on the same level to be regarded as others is. Especially since you do center your sentiment instead of that of affected.

        But I have a brain and when I see someone disparage a country’s education system based off of a single percentage statistic I’m allowed to shit on it.

        Show me where you did do "shit on it" when a person was "disparaging" a country which gets negative media bias in the US. Btw. you have no clue if they did do that based on a single statistic, that was only what was posted. No one will read a book as comment. You assume too much here. Also: The want to defend a country (or its reputation) instead of helping the people who could be affected is a problem, this means you are more a nationalist (and you seem to be US American, that means you are even centering your own country) than you care about people who are as example functionally illiterate.
