The real wealth of this country comes from the land and it's people. What America is going through right now is a brain drain and a culture of greed. People are competitive by nature, there will always be Alpha personalities [overbearing over achievers with highly narcissistic personalities]. The only thing to keep these megalomaniacs in check is the rule of law and regulation. This applies to anyone who is at the precipice of their particular profession. If we continue to ignore our most valuable resource, "the kids" by letting them playing non competitive sports and coddling them the future of our country is screwed. Our current model of schooling was developed after WWII aside from a computer or two in the classrooms and a lack of extracurricular activities not much has changed since then. Now since the wealthy have this education thing covered it's the rest of us who need to stand up and be heard. China and Korea are kicking our asses in math and science. There is an excellent website to help you kids with this: http://www.khanacademy.org/ . this site is free, so get your kids off of playstation for 10 minutes and get their science and math scores back into the 90th percentile!
Can someone explain to me how school districts are broke. Weren't the Lotteries and the Casinos supposed to help fund education? Some school districts have shrunk have no funding cut's and they need more money, I don't get it. Factually if I am ever blessed with a child I will home school them. With unemployment as high as it is perhaps "if you have the ability" you should give home schooling a try.
