I didn't have the patience to watch the whole thing, but from the intro it sounds like he's missing out on a rather large factor in the equation: how the education system is funded.

In the United States, a school's budget is based predominately on the taxes coming in from the neighborhood that the school is in. Of course this means that poorer neighborhoods are going to have worse schools. The answer isn't necessarily privatization. In Canada the vast majority of students are at public schools, but these are funded at the Provincial level instead of local level. This means that all of the schools in a given province receive the same amount of money per student.

The Canadian education system isn't perfect, but it solves most of the problems brought up in the intro to this video.

Sadly, the Canadian system couldn't work here...too many folks with the "I got mine, screw you" mindset.

Moving this video to blankfist's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.
