"First, high school should be cut short and end when students are 16. Second, a new generation of two-year college programs tied to a wide range of specific skills that the economy needs should be created. Third, access to four-year colleges should be expanded, giving more Americans the chance to acquire the deep learning that makes breakthroughs in technology possible. Fourth, we need to recruit more public school teachers and train them better, particularly in physics, chemistry, biology and mathematics, so that our children can be prepared to compete." - InPerpetualMotion(Gina k)
