Last Place

Its fantastic how us Americans are now proud to be the country with the most time watching television, in fact its globalized as a technological milestone. As we can all observe in the chart in the article , it is safe to say that almost every single country beneath us in rankings has a greater educational program. In fact more superior then, yes the great old USA. The United States averages 8 hours of television a day.
So lets take part in the life of an American teenager. From 7:00 a.m to 3:oo p.m all children attend school, and do not really engage in pleasurable t.v time. Then lets say a student gets home and settles down about 5:00 p.m , now in 8 hours wouldn't it already be over the child's bedtime? When do they study? They don't. So that's a simple approximation of why we the USA are not in the high pedestal of the educational spectrum.Its not an achievement to spend the most time observing the detriment to all society and its cultivating ignorance. Children are not learning in the classrooms, but instead gathering biased and made up gibberish that they seem to encode from the television programs.
Sometimes its good to be in last place, its not always good to be great at everything USA, because being good at somethings can destroy all others.
