[quote=Anonymous]Public education is there to ensure that the next generation work face has the skills to be prosperous. It ties back to the overall economy. The current and future jobs are in science and technology. The US currently has worker shortage in these area. A significant percentage of graduate and PHd level science and engineering grads from top US universities are foreign students who can stay in the US and take these skills back to their home country. The reality is that kids coming out of public education do not have the appropriate foundation in math and science. A US student who excels at math and science is the exception not the norm. This is not occurring because US students are genetically unable to do math and science but a reflection on how current educators favor language arts so significantly over math.

Math acceleration should not be available but promoted and rewarded. The bar should be raised for all kids and more instructional time should be given for subjects that the future economy needs not what older educators are more comfortable offering. [/quote]
