Problem: High School Grads are not ready for college or the workforce

Education in our public schools 40 years ago was more successful because the public school system only needed to educate 30% of us. The remaining 70% had factory jobs and farms to toil in to insure the posterity of the majority. The competition was between states or even school districts; this is not true any longer. We are in global competition and we are failing to produce the technical work force we must have if we are to compete. 44 out of 50 states have a grade in math of C or worse; Washington is in the F column. When U.S. companies hire foreign workers it is out of the lack of educated American workers from which to choose!
