probably the prussians -> germans. maybe the brits. it certainly wasn't the US. the US probably doesn't even begin to compete until after WW2. the US has had and continues to be the world leader in college education (no thanks to UoP, WGU, and all the other fly by night places). but that's not education as a whole.That one's a bit tougher. Can you prove the assertion wrong? Okay, tell me what country you think had the best education system between 1800 and 1950.
The Chinese were still using sticks and flintlocks. Japanese and Germans, possible rivals.
What do you think?

What do you know about the German school system? It was pretty good until the Nazis came along.
They may have been a bit more advanced but I'm still saying the US system was better.
Or shitty parenting.
How's Sweden doing these days? Do you know?
your assertion, you need to prove it. sorry it doesn't work the other way.Can you prove it's not true?
All schools nationwide used the New England Primer up until around 1920-ish. Some still did up until the late 1940s.
That's okay, charter schools won't be held to the same level of accountability, so they can do whatever math they need to make them look successful enough for their for-profit corporate owners to keep taking that sweet federal cash.That's an interesting point.
You wanna know why Charter schools work so great right now? As a parent of 2 kids that went to (literally) the highest performing gradeschool in WI, I noticed that every kid in that school had parents (and teachers!) that were active and participating in their kid's education. The school was better because you had parents that actively sought out an alternative for their kid and then were involved in the school all day, every day in countless capacities. You had teachers that sought out something different and wanted to blaze a trail and make something special. There is NO question that is why their Charter Schools, and Charter Schools in general end up looking better.
In WI public schools have consistently been defunded under Walker for years. And people cry over and over that our public school system sucks. Gee, I wonder why. Now Walker is assigning 100s of millions back into schools (after ripping a billion+ out) and applying it to mostly rural school systems (shocker!) meanwhile the urban schools continue to decay beyond repair (literally and figuratively). And the right is praising him for funding schools now. So he took $100 from schools, gave $50 back and the GOP is praising him.
This is an exception and not the rule though. If there were tons and tons of charter schools and they become the norm, do you think there would be as much family participation? Of course not. And the results would reflect that.
Why are you speaking of him in past tense?
the prussians were the first to have mandatory primary education (in 1717).What do you know about the German school system? It was pretty good until the Nazis came along.
They may have been a bit more advanced but I'm still saying the US system was better.
correct. but the question is about the system as a whole, not the quality of part of the system.The UK seems to have had some institutions that have been around awhile.
Detroit Free Press editor Stephen Henderson expressed concerns over DeVos’s nomination, noting that "DeVos isn't an educator, or an education leader. She's not an expert in pedagogy or curriculum or school governance. In fact, she has no relevant credentials or experience for a job setting standards and guiding dollars for the nation's public schools. She is, in essence, a lobbyist - someone who has used her extraordinary wealth to influence the conversation about education reform, and to bend that conversation to her ideological convictions despite the dearth of evidence supporting them."[54][55] Rebecca Mead of The New Yorkerquestioned the efficacy of Michigan's charter school system, which DeVos has supported.[21]
The best people. Bigly.
Defunding of schools my ass, every district i've ever been in has higher and higher funding with lower and lower results.Yeah -- that doesn't have anything to do with the constant defundning of schools.
well stop bringing the average down dumbass.Defunding of schools my ass, every district i've ever been in has higher and higher funding with lower and lower results.

Or shitty educators and administrators.
so your solution is to bring in someone with zero educational background, but just happened to be a HUGE contributor to hair furor.Or shitty educators and administrators.
