http://shmoo2.blogspot.com/2006/11/education-shock.html has an interesting discussion on the value we place on education in this country.
I spent the week reviewing for midterm exams. My students will have 2 exams over the material - my class and their other math class. And they act as if they have never seen the material before. And yet, kids were checked out early, stayed home because they didn't want to come to school, and even asked me what happens if they don't take their exam (You have to make it up at some point or take a 0 on 15% of your grade.)
