TikTok was always a fucking Chinese psyop. 60 minutes did a study back in 2022 and made 20 accounts posing as 12 year old girls. The algorithm was feeding them SH/ED content on EVERY account within 10 days. Disgraceful that neither party took real action.

Yeah who could’ve guessed that underfunding education for years and also getting rid of the department of education would lead to bad outcomes

Their society values following the law and a strong education putting kids through years of rigorous schooling and discipline weeding out those who can’t make it into manufacturing jobs while only the best attain positions of power in a true meritocratic system.

It’s not just funding it’s our culture itself that’s the problem.

The higher the CPP the better their educational outcomes are in the USA. Thats just a fact. States with higher CPP just do better objectively. So a large part of it actually IS funding. There are cultural differences, yes, but it also doesn’t help that education in America is just run so poorly and funded so poorly with no standards

They have tiktok in China, but they tightly regulate their social media companies so Chinese tiktok is much more wholesome. Not China’s fault the US is a capitalist hellscape

Oh sorry. It’s Cost Per Pupil. I’m an education major and we talk about it all the time, so sometimes I forget not everyone knows what it is outside the major
