Of course, if there's a supply problem such as there was during the boom, then offshoring kicks in. Offshoring started during the boom when no one could find enough trained people. That's why I think the school system needs to do nothing short of drastic measures to improve. Why should we offshore because of them? Amy, I think you might want to clarify your position. Many kids, particularly the rich, are coming out of private school system and not public schools. That transition began in full force about 15 years ago and its they who are the ones now coming out of our major universities like Stanford and Harvard. If there is a shortfall, it may well be private schools who have their own standards and are much more reliant on the largesse of parents that are the problem. For the past month, I have been student teaching at a local middle school. I don't know if its representative of all middle schools but overall I find the quality of the teachers and cirriculum to be equal to the ones when I went to school........and I went to some of the best public schools in my city. Ninety five % of my hi school went on to some form of higher education. ted
