How to line-up? How to cipher numbers and do long-division and long square-roots? How to write beautiful cursive? How to use a slide-rule? How to recite the Gettysburg Address? What were the dates of the Spanish-American War? Who did what in the American Revolution? What were the dates of the French-Indian War? Whose heads are carved into Mount Rushmore? Which state is Mt. Rushmore in?

Most of us have discovered and experienced how worthless public education is, at least in the United States. So why oppose the new programme of employers educating or training workers to have the skills to do jobs that are available in their companies? Education for students to fill the real-world vacancies, right now, in the job market? ... What a new idea in education!

May the U.S. Department of Education choke on this concept!
