The US needs to have a compulsory service like Israel, once graduated from high school.

I agree 100%. Our education system needs a complete overhaul. The workforce that is coming out of school is not ready for us to move ahead. With 2 working parents, they are also not getting the love and attention they need to be good citizens either.

Also, China is USA corporate’s worldwide factory. What exactly are we to compete with besides cheap wages? I suggest we get used to somewhat higher prices as we bring the manufacturing jobs back home, and end the relentless line of container ships coming across the Pacific.

For once I agree with you.

if you’re going to talk about the well-being of america’s children you have to talk about myocarditis, pericarditis, and the epidemic of teenagers and young people dropping dead. there is no moral justification for turning your eyes away from this.

Marianne, China is beating the US with less educated people and specifically because of a much lower minimum wage.

Can You provide specifics ?

Our CHILDREN will always be this Country's ... BEST INVESTMENT!
