Found a nice little characterization of education in nordic countries (denmark, sweeden, finland, norway) vs education in the US

here are some points raised:
The US spends more on prisons than education
The US spends more on the military
Anyone attempting to change it gets labeled a socialist and taken outside and old yellered.
Any change that gets through only patches an already flawed system, and in the long run actually adds to the problem.

If a parent wants a child to be passed up to the next grade, then by law the school must do so.
