How about that?

When I was in K-12 (1950/1060), the US educational ranking was NUMBER ONE...

What happened?

More importantly....

How do our universities rank so HIGH if the high school graduates are ranked THIRTEENTH?

Parents don't seem to care about their uneducated children either because THEY DO NOTHING ABOUT IT...

Elementary School prepares students for Junior High and Junior High prepares students for High School and High School prepares students for College and College prepares students for Graduate School, and Graduate School prepares students for their Doctorate degrees.

NOWHERE...

does US education prepares students to go out into the workforce (without college) to work...  interestingly most of the jobs that are available to potential workers do not require college degrees.

We CANNOT have a workforce of all college educated people - there simply are not enough jobs available at that level.

Our educational system is failing our students and we as parents are just allowing it to happen, willing to trust those who are telling us EVERYTHING IS PERFECT TO ALMOST PERFECT.

Is that what you want for your child or children?
