[Fredslist] Education-Worldwide Competition

[David Marks Green Action Advocate]

Again, Fred, you nailed it. I was also struck by President Obama's note
that dropping out of school is dropping out and failing the country. Man
I wish I had heard that when I was in high school. I graduated college
successfully, and did very well, but always regret that my high school
education was one that was imbued with a zealous ambivalence. 

Regards all.

I was struck the other night by much of President Obama's address and an
important under tone has been haunting me.  To paraphrase, he mentioned
that educationally we are falling behind in the worldwide competition
and that no one should drop out of high school. It seems to me that,
obviously, he's the perfect "poster person" example and he needs to
follow up, but I just wanted to mention it so that we can all be
sensitive and mindful of this crucial issue. I know I would not be where
I am if it had not been for the educational opportunity available to me

Thoughts?.
