It's fantastic that American children will have some one to relate to.
Reading comprehension just isn't your thing, is it?
The article is about British kids, not American kids.

I think he was referring to the US educational system not being all that shit hot right now either. But then again, Canada isn't all that far behind either.

The only problem with the US educational system is a lack of funding.
Or so the teacher's union keeps telling me.

I can certainly see that being the case in some areas. However I think it really has more to do with not wanting to fail little Johnny cuz he might develop a complex over it. This is certainly true in Ontario anyway.
Um, that's because music and sports have a more personal impact to us than some egghead who created or discovered something that many use but few understand. Music and sports stars usually reveal they are flawed and are only human. Scientists rarely do.

It's also because the educational establishment has spent the past 40-50 years deconstructing heroes instead of holding them up as role models. Consequently, we now have the advent of a generation who holds no one in high esteem.
I'll leave it to you guys to decide if I'm serious or not

Really? A basketball or baseball player who get paid millions has less impact on your life, compared to say, a microwave oven? Or velcro? How about airbags or antilock brakes? Can a 3 pointer save your life? Why does society revere people who entertain us over people who make out lives better?
Like Bart says, our priorities are ass-backwards. Dean Kamen, Ed Witten, Marc Tilden - these are a few of the people I hold in high regard. I can't actually name any sports people (outside of F1) off the top of my head.
If you think scientists can't have personal scandals, just read a climate change thread around here once in a while.
Can a 3 pointer save your life?
No, but an O/T goal by your team in the Olympic Gold Medal Hockey Game can really, really enrich it for a time.
