I do wish the media , governor, Dr. Paine or Boone County Board of Education would write a real comparison of the education system in Japan or China vs the United States. We hear these countries are ahead of us in math and science. WHY? We educate all children for 12 or more years. Students go to school 180 days about 7 hours. Why is it we never hear about the long days - hours, how many years everyone gets to go to school, or who cleans the school, what the children must go through in order to go on to school after the 9 years they are offered an education in Japan or China. Teachers work hard in Boone County. When others compare the US to other countries, they leave out a lot of information. The United States or West Virgina could change our educational system to run like Japan or China.

I was the assistant principal at the high school five years ago when we had a foreign exchange student from South Korea. She was very bright in math. For those of you who were around then, she won Boone County Math Field Day at the high school level. She told me she went to school from approximately 7:00 am until 7:00 pm. She always had homework also. She also informed me that she got to bathe once a week. This occurred in a central location in a huge tub where 12-20 women or girls would strip and get into the tub at once. Anyone want to send their child there to learn math? She saw the band perform at a football game. This was a first according to her. She told me she would love to go to school in the United States. Sometimes things appear better from the outside than on the inside!
