America,
Land of the beautiful, home of the brave!
-Brave enough to fight a war a world away, but not so brave on tackling the educational crises that has hit as hard, if not harder, than the financial crises of 2008.
You see; while the tax-payers of the United States pay out the billions of dollars needed to fund the war in Afghanistan (and Iraq, albeit at a much smaller amount), another war should erupt very soon on the home-front. This war is about education.
America must come to grips with the cold-hard truth that it is seceding its power everyday to the up and coming economic powerhouse, China. With this cold-hard truth, America must look at one big question on its home-front: how do we contend with our Chinese rival?...
... answer: education! America is ranked generally ranked between 22nd and 33rd in global education, according tohttp://www.geographic.org/country_ranks/educational_score_performance_country_ranks_2009_oecd.htmla whose facts are backed by numerous sources and journals...
... 22nd-33rd? How can the world's only super-power for the past 60 years have such a low education rating? This requires an extensive look; an examination, if you will, beginning at the macro level all the way into the nano-micro scale.
... this is a real problem for any country, let alone one on which the entire world's economy relies upon!
.... more to come.
