Is it possible, the United States wasted so much time on a fake war (WMDs?) that we neglected ourselves – letting banks rape us – but most severely, letting our kids suffer?
While we let public schools fall by the wayside, other countries stepped their game up. Japan, China, and India understand that the key to an economy is Technology. Taking the time to prepare their youth for college has opened the door to top U.S. institutes (like U of M) for foreign students. We treat college like a business. European students have college and high school incorporated. Obviously, we need college – it is job training in the 21st century – where else are you going to learn skills?
Sorry, U.S.A., but the East is “Winning!”
