Peter's Viewpoint

The educational system in the United States and in other nations around the world are under attack.

It is unbelievable that any country in the world would even consider paying students to learn what they MUST be learning to survive their entire life.

Today I listened to a radio sports announcement that said that it was appalled with the thought that in a soccer game between USA and Italy that the USA team was just a hair away from winning.

The point that I am trying to make here is that it is apparent that the rest of the world does not want to believe that the USA can make a come back and nor does it want to believe that the USA should be doing so in sports.

Don't people wonder why other people think this way?  It is because the USA has changed course over the past few presidencies toward the wrong path.  A path that is leading education to produce people have lower comprehension  skills in reading and writing not to mention speaking.

If the world wants better politicians then the people must be able to comprehend what the politicians are actually saying and paying children to learn today will more than likely produce adults that are not willing to do what it takes to excel on their own tomorrow.
