A lot of people seem to bring up how different education is between many different states. But is it really that different between them all? For example, Massachusetts is the rank 1 state in education but what does that really mean? The state ranked last in education is west virginia but again, what does that really mean? I am actually from Massachusetts and I have felt that our education is good but I think there is a lot and I mean A LOT of fluff. Most people I went to college with were in weird majors etc. It wasn't like it was all engineers and such. So to mean, what even determines education in a state? If Massachusetts is truly rank 1 in education, how did that come to be?
1. High school attrition rate.2. SAT/ACT results.3. University matriculation rate.4. Employment rate post-graduation.
>>545107344This thread is lyingFlorida has a subpar public education system
>>545107582This is what it means directly sure. But is that what is really happening and why or why not? If thats all the cases that influence ranking, why would the difference in education between some states be so egregious? Like what is wrong with West Virginia if anything that makes them dead last? and by apparently a wide margin?
the variance you see is prolly cuz the us is basically 50 countries wearing a giant trench coat, so everything from state to state like accents, culture, curriculum, etc. is super inconsistent in the us
>>545107653>>545107731I guess that makes sense. I wasn't aware states even still had in school paddling until I looked at this chart. Being from Massachusetts and having gone through the school system and university, I just never really felt like our system was particularly great. I just remember being trained to take a bunch of tests. It never really felt like I was learning to retain the knowledge but rather learning in such a way that was conducive to test passing.
