U.S. Falling Behind as Academics Goes Global
Those that have read my blog know that I do get on my soapbox from time to time about the state of education in the United States. I can't help but be concerned about the future for America's young adults. Too many students are not opting to stay in school to continue their education. If U.S. students continue their lack of motivation in pursuing an education, I can't help but be gloomy on America's place in the 21st century as a world leader.
Taking a different viewpoint, BusinessWeek recently posted an article on academics in the United States stating that U.S. schools are not doing that bad. The schools could be doing better, but they're not terrible. The article uses the Two Million Minutes documentary as its backdrop. The BusinessWeek author points out that academic performance doesn't always dictate the sucess a person may have in the world of business.
