What does HE know, anyway? :-) Instead, Greenspan said the country needed to explore avenues to make sure that all Americans had the opportunity to get a good education and then be able to return to school to improve their job skills. Greenspan said that support for community colleges has been an area where government investment in education has paid off. He said community colleges were likely to provide critical support to boosting job skills in the future as more and more workers see the need to upgrade their skills over their careers. He also suggested there was a need to upgrade teaching in American high schools, citing a 1995 study by Boston College that showed American students scored higher than students in other countries in math and science in the fourth grade but by the 12th grade had test scores well below international averages. "Many of our students languish at too low a level of skill and the result is an apparent excess of supply relative to a declining demand" for workers with low skill levels, he said. Teacher's unions. Like all unions, they are out to ensure a good life for union officers and the members and public be ****ed! Education currently seems to be a typical bureaucracy: the more money you pour in, the worse the problem gets. What you get for more money is more bureaucracy to get in the way of getting the job done.
