I grew up with them and am repulsed by them. Japan definitely does it better (as I'm sure many countries do, but I only have experience with the two).
Most all countries, as a whole, do much better in all parts of the educational system. The fun part is, if these chucklefucks get their way and seriously reduce or eliminate the department of education things are going to seriously roll right back to serfdom.

In my case, I was in school in the '80s and '90s in the rural Midwest and our food was not great and made at a pretty low budget
