Education

I watched a show on PBS this evening about the outsourcing of jobs to India and the effect of what is happening over there. One of the things that is drawing the jobs besides cheap labor is amount of engineers and scientist that are graduating either from their schools or even from the colleges in the US. Our average student from the US graduates from college with a liberal art degrees, such as teacher degree( in my opinion a very low grade degree- the course consists of low grade Psycology and Sociology- no math, no history etc.) Moyer and his guest brought up about what our students are prepared for and that was degrees like English,etc but the students that was taking the rough courses like math, science were from Asian countries. I have said this before- if this country wants to survive - our grade schools have to change- our grade school teachers have to take tougher courses and our so called educators have to be something besides Psychologist and Sociologist. Our public schools would be better off with educators that were ignorant of children's abilities. Learning is not always an easy approach- Memorization is not learning- being able to picture what is needed to be done is more important. I showed a lady today a little prblem today that she could work with her daughter who was 10 ten- anyway - 2(3-2) plus3(6-5) etc, with out the use of pencil, paper or use of fingers. There has to be a way to go back to using the head for a change. This is our only was to start the reverse of outsourcing. The world will suffer if the consumer market in this country goes under since the loss of manufactoring jobs has been what have made us the market. The national government does not believe in taxing the Corporation of the profits that they are making out of the outsourcing so where does this country going? Wake up America
