[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Global competition from kids who work harder than our's.[/quote]

There is no competition with the US.  They have surpassed us and we are not willing to change and meet our kids needs.[/quote]

This is such a load, yet widely accepted in the US. 
Most nations separate academic kids from vocational track at middle school. We're comparing all high school graduates to a very small select pool in Asian and European countries. A tiny minority go to college.[/quote

Nothing wrong with vocational tracking kids in middle school to give them a career and teach them the skills they need to be successful.  I know guys doing very well in construction, HVAC, plumbing and electrical as they are jobs "Americans" don't want to do anymore.  Its not a select pool.  The educational choices we have made for all our kids from the ones struggling to the top performers is not working for our country and we need true reform.  Of course, we'll never get that as it all comes down to money and those who have the greatest financial interests would be against it.[/quote]
