text: Singapore has the #1 best public education in the world year after year. Their competent teachers carry a 40 student per classroom load. The problem with Oregon public schools is most of our teachers cannot remotely teach at this level. I was pulled from Oregon public schools, a pathetic joke when I attended, and was sent to England to get an education. They manage to graduate students at 16 years old and with our freshman college aptitude. I attended large class sizes as England prepared me for college where you will find 100-150 students per class. If our schools graduated students at 16 the taxpayers save 2 years in education costs per student, and your funding problem is solved. You can now afford to hire competent teachers who can handle a 30-40 student classroom workload and teach at this level.
