It fluctuates in some subjects, but still is ranked at the top. I was born and studied there, and history of the world was taught in every school, and seeing from my grandchildren, still is.Some students worldwide are harder working than some in the US, but the teachers in the US are still also at the top.It might be a higher percentage about US history but that doesn't leave out the rest of the world. I'm here teaching my daughter and girlfriend about what went on in the world throughout time as I was taught all about it in school, and here they know very little about what goes on worldwide unless they go into college, and even then not near as much as back home.Literacy rate isn't all of it as many in the US come from other countries, especially Mexico, where schools are sub par............https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/education-rankings-by-country

True, and what is missed here is that America and Russia were allies to crush Nazism, and here we're hoping peace can once again be settled between two countries who, working together, can ensure peace all over Europe. It's the leaders and their egos that ruin things, or fix them.

People are making species extinct daily, and that alone shows we are doing things wrong.

Stalin was a little off also, like Hitler, but his army, along with the allies, helped to defeat the Nazis. This is one article on the happenings..............https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/articles/zhv747h

The problem with electing a person into power is that that leaves many very important decisions in the hands of a person who lives for power,a narcissist. He has billions so many believe he's a smart man that can do the same for them. Every president makes good and bad decisions, and many voted for him because they other side didn't prove themselves in the 4 years they were in power. We only had two choices and most picked Trump. His thinking has always been off and although he is America first, that can make other countries we've worked with well before, looking at us as adversaries. His personal vendetta against certain people makes him look like a dictator, and he has enough financial backing to stay in power. He can do wonders for us,and the rest of the free world, or he can ruin many relationships and cause the US more problems in the future. Ego can hurt or help. It's in his hands now, and like others have said, there's a possibility, if he doesn't start getting things corrected, that others might think about taking him out.

The US schools are among the best worldwide, and teach all history of all nations. Some just interpret things wrong or didn't pay enough attention in class.

It's ingrained for many years that money can buy off almost everything that happens. The only way this kind of thing gets reduced, as it will never stop, is severe punishment for those involved after guilty beyond reasonable doubt. When other disturbed sociopaths see that one of their kind gets life in prison for raping or sexually assaulting a child, they might think twice. A school director who wants to sweep this under the rug never works in the school system again.

Under cooked pork, wild or otherwise, can give you trichinosis

It's been happening for centuries. The end result is- - Deer kill over 300 people on the roads yearly, and about 5 by attacks. Tigers take an average of 1 person a week, as well as leopards. Lions kill hundreds yearly, as do elephants. Mountain lions kill as people walk, run and bike ride into territory that used to be theirs. Snakes are found in homes, especially in Thailand and India, and bit hundreds yearly. You can't wantonly kill dangerous animals unless they become man eaters, and it's usually very hard because they are roamers, and in areas where people live out in the country and game managers are slim. Nothing will stop this, as land developers are only concerned with making a profit. If the world's population stayed at zero gain, it would help, but the damage is already done. If deer aren't hunted, naming just one species, they over populate and go into subdivisions to eat. People get pissed off because they're eating thousands of dollars of their plants and they can't do anything because ignorant game departments don't allow a bow season around many towns. the smart ones have adapted.

Pigs, in this case wild pigs, reproduce twice a year, 4 to 12 piglets, and they're voracious eaters, competing with wildlife like deer for food, and driving them away from it. They are an incredible nuisance in the US and other countries for this reason, and tear up farmland and forested areas for food. They need to be hunted intensely, all year long, just to keep their numbers in control. There isn't any legal hunting here so they over populate besides those that take matters into their own hands, which is necessary. They do attack if cornered or protecting their young and can leave a lot of wounds from tusks and biting. Yes, people have moved into much of wildlife's territory, this being the land developers fault, and people are living and competing for the land with wildlife. Pigs, because of their litter size, cause a lot more problems than deer all species, even though deer also have to be hunted wherever they live to keep them withing the carrying capacity of their habitat. This all points to man's damage to land.

Humans are indeed animals but a more developed brain separates us from acting out of impulse and more by thought beforehand, or at least it should. People commit rapes as a learned behavior, from seeing aggression towards females first from their fathers or other male role models and also from peers if they didn't have a good male role model as children. This goes further with social behavior, as some cultures, Thai included , Buddhist by nature, look at women as inferior and as basically slaves to do what's told to them. There is no need for sex but a want and desire, as humans , animals, we are here to procreate just as all animals are. Most animals do it by nature, instinct, to procreate. Humans also do this but also have a desire for pleasure. Animals many times do not mate for life, and like a buck deer, they go after as many does as possible during mating season. After the mating is done, the buck just goes onto others until the mating season ends, with all does mated. They care nothing for a family unit or the offspring. That's the does job. Many humans act this way, thinking they are alpha males and somehow deserve more. Deluded for sure. This boy tried to rape this girl, as control and not just as a sexual desire but just a selfish behavior. His warped mind only saw what he wanted done, and thought nothing of the girl besides a body to get off in. We don't know yet the true story, and might never, but him saying he brought her to a hotel first and then tries to force himself on her later outside doesn't quite fit. More likely, if he did bring her to a hotel, she spurned him and asked to be driven home. His sick mind felt he had to stop the scooter and try his advances again, which he got slapped for and which angered him enough to kill her. People should be able to control their desires and that's what makes a person act human, instead of like an animal that's just there to get off and leave. Hopefully he never leaves prison because this will happen again if he does.

Most women want to be provided for, but some look at money first.

You must remember that the majority of actors and actresses are all average looking people, and many of the ones considered hot only look that way because of makeup and plastic surgery. Then the ones that are very good looking naturally will all get older and will end up looking like the average people again. You can put almost anyone on TV and people will swoon, because many retain their teenage thinking and hero worship well into their middle ages and beyond. Yet they see people on the streets that look much the same as many actors and actresses and they won't give them a second glance.

Better to be proud of a loyal, average looking woman with a good heart than bragging about one that's prettier and only with you because of your money.

He's in the running for brown noser of the year already.

And obviously your teachers either.

What you see in 7 months is a fraction of what you would see if you lived there as a resident. Like I said, you have your opinions, and those are garnered from living in one place for 7 months. There are 50 states in the US, with thousands of cities and millions of people. It doesn't matter how fast you understand things. Time spent is what matters, in all situations. There are people that live in Thailand that rarely leave their village, and they think they know what goes on here throughout the country. They don't. many think Thailand has little crime compared to other countries and they would be shocked if they knew just what goes on here daily. People have opinions and there are facts, and they are quite different.

And opinions and stories hold little weight. Living there is how you know what goes on.

Tourist and a little more. Same as staying here for a few months and thinking you know what goes on all over.

What is the piss in the US? I thought you never visited or lived there, so your comments mean little, as you have no experience.

A closet Nazi perhaps?

Snakes actually kill over 30 a year here, compared to maybe 5 by dogs.

Are you seeing the foreigners litter at such a high percentage or just assuming again? Where I live, garbage is everywhere, including in the streets and the forest. Trash is thrown on the ground right next to garbage cans. I'm the only foreigner for miles around. I put my trash in large plastic bags and bring it to the closest town that has a pickup. The difference between here and the US, is that you're fined if caught throwing anything on the ground in a public place, and garbage pickups are everywhere, including the country areas. Foreigners from all over are slobs but you don't get away with it like you do here.

That is true. In all my 7 years here I mostly see locals being pulled over. When I'm pulled over, they usually wave me on or just ask where I live. The only trouble I see is that they let the locals go after talking to them a few minutes, most not wearing helmets. Not sure about having licenses because this is just watching from the line. I'm sure most stops are looking for drug trafficking, as that's what I've been told while living here, especially out in the country near a border.
