BTW, it benefits us if there are more stupid people. Just don't get on the "stupid" side of the (arbitrary) line.

Educated workforces are expensive.

I didn't see China on there. I believe that's our biggest world competitor.

article mentioned that china and india doesn't provide info on this stuff.

and why would they? i mean, if they did i'm sure ther percentages would look way way worse cuz there is such a large disparity in wealth and education there. the article cites 1-in-4 americans drop outta high school.. in china it would probably 1-in-10. either way, china/india's 10% that score amazing.. in pure numbers is probably still greater than the number of graduates here.

just another case of bending stats to fit your goal.

What do you mean for guys like me? Do you read my posts? Our educational system sucks more than a whore in a Nevada brothel. I've stated that many a time before.
