Asian Students Ace Global Education Test-Education follows TECHNOLOGY and suffers from Government incompetence not the intelligence of the population at large

Here is more proof of an incompetent government, more focused on "no student left behind" which translates in our incompetent way with creating students who function at the lowest common denominator or "no student gets ahead".
Why?  Because our government is corrupted into pandering by the need for the carreer politicians to get re-elected.  They are destroying the education system with the sole goal of pandering votes from a populace too stupid to realize what is being done to them.
We need a stratified society.  A society with no one to do menial labor doesn't get the ditches cleaned.  We need a stratified society that doesn't give a flip who is where as long as those who have skill allowing them to get ahead are supported as fully as possible.  But that doesn't pander to ignorant voters.
in addition, since all the technology has been exported with the manufacturing, the students are not exposed to parent tool makers and machinists and engineers.  While my father was none of those, he provided me with the opportunity to work with them.  The result was that i was not left behind, I was exposed to and learned to work with technology, I was in a position to postulate a new fundamental field theory.
On a lighter note and speaking of that, I will be doing the first presentation on that in New Orleans in 3 days!  What a positive not to end this otherwise dreary blog post.
