I don't know whom you're talking about....maybe low level high school students but those of us who were average or above average in hi school had no trouble with college level courses.

That is because you don't know what college level course are, outside of the US.

Excuse me, who decided that Europe knows what courses should be taught at the university level? Besides, students track differently in Europe vs the US.

I do, because I have personal experience. I graduated from average high school in Europe and entered an average college in the US.

What courses did you have that American students did not have? And to what American university did you go?

First 1 to 2 years of math science curriculum in the US colleges covers high school material of all of our competitors in the world.

Which math would that be?

But again, why is this important?

Why it is important competitors, especially those in Asia are moving forward, as far as preparedness for jobs of the future, while the US is moving backwards. In the long run, people will have the standard of living that their skills can buy. The market place will erase the excesses, especially outrageous excesses of paying $73 dollar to an hourly worker in a car assembly.

It is not just that our competitors don't pay $73 to their hourly assembly line workers, their assembly line workers are of higher caliber.

How the fukk do you know that? Show me the detailed study that you've read where the worker at American car plants is of a lower quality than his/her Asian equivalent.
