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