Failing to educate our kids

American is falling behind the rest of the world in intellectual infrastructure – we now rank 14th, 17th, and 25th, respectively, in reading, science, and math when compared to the 34 most developed nations on the world – many of which send their kids to college for free. No nation can be successful and compete in a global economy – with poorly education young people. Also, according to a new report from the OECD – the United States is the ONLY G-20 nation whose new workers have less education than its retiring workers.
