RHM,
i do sure not get against your opinions in case of education and the huge leak of bringting it up further.
i do not read statistics like the above's, because they proof nothing, they are made by people who don't have a clue about what part of the world they are talking about.
YES,
the Metro is aside of some other(compared to the Metro amount just minor of course) stuff a big monster hit for the country's money, it's completely wasted and could've been used for something good, heck, it could've changed the education on the island from the downplace where it is now up to a international competitive level within a decade, i totally agree on that point, will not start a Metro discussion here.
my opinion about the educational system like it is running, better or worse compared to some years back, is not based on statistics, just on my own observations and personal experience as a father and as a distributor of donations for most public schools in my home area, on the east coast.
i can not speak about the capitol or santiago aso.
we have now much more public schools than a few years back, that's in my eyes an improvement, without starting to talk about the quality of their outfit/teacher's experience aso. the youngguns get for their morning classes their breakfast provided, again, i am not talking about the quality of that, just about some changes.
i do not see a huge improvement in the educational system over all, but i see that things start to get implemented.
YES,
there's a hell of stuff still missing,
and Yes, aside of the waste of money on the metro the gobmin has urgently to look for a bunch of money to put in education, there's still nothing really done.
but like i wrote in my short sentence in my former post as a answer to Bob's general question,
NO, i do not see that it got worse.
but i want to add that it did not get enough better neither, YES.
just wanted to make clear that our opinions are not some controverse discussion stuff. the gubmin has to start to put real effords into education,
and they should start soon.
i just hope they never start to think about a Metro in santiago or such.
noap, after the st dgo one there will anyways not be any money for such.
Mike
