Education

It is so depressing when one tries to come up with ideas that will help our nation address problems impacting our educational system. I am hoping that President Obama's efforts will make a difference.

At any rate, it is comforting to read Thomas Friedman's column on the Intel Science Finalists. What was remarkable was (1) the vast majority were Asia, and (2) some of the school districts advertise for immigrants to come to their school district.

Wouldn't it be great if we could create an environment where children would consider education their number one objective!
