Win and Compete to Educate

Jeanine, wow, thank you for sharing this.  Folks like your humble servant here suspect such things; you offer proof.  What changes things is the lack of money.  Education does not need more money - this does not mean cutting pay for teachers.  It needs less funding so it must asking the first question:  In what business are we?  In addition, a country that knows how to win wars and compete economically will know how to educate its youth.  Sadly, America is losing the capacity to win and compete for now.  You may find the attached "speech" for my Rotary (Madison, WI, West) Club on Thursday of this week of interest, for it is one way of expressing what is missing.  Thank you for your sharing.  Dr. Rux  (This applies equally to Canada.  The "win and compete" insight in fact comes from the late Toronto Globe and Mail columnist Richard J. Needham, a favorite of this writer.)
