[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As much as we talk about the difficulty of college admissions, American high school students are not learning enough content to compete in a global market. The SAT is not rigorous and barely tests at a pre-calculus level. Our students are dropping out of STEM programs like flies, and students aren’t graduating with the skills needed to compete in the entry level market. What reforms should we make?[/quote]

One party continues to gut public education and use public money for parochial education that focuses on religious studies and not the 4 R's.

This isn't hard. America was great when people had a chance to succeed and then reward the country that made the conditions for success with taxes to bring others up with the same opportunity. The GOP has been gaslighting the middle and lower classes and consolidating wealth in the 1% and is now going to fight to bring in skilled labor from other countries so they can control those workers with their visa's while native born Americans become chattel in an increasing dystopian world.

The way to break it is to get private and foreign money out of our elections and limit or eliminate gerrymandering.[/quote]

Yes, but I think we are past the inflection point where this would have been possible. Our best chance was probably Bernie, though at the time I was not a supporter. Perhaps it does have to get worse before it gets better, sadly. I think we are seeing the first wave of employment contractions due to AI. There was an article in the WSJ recently about the coming end of entry level jobs, as they will be outsourced to AI.[/quote]
