American Education

Education in America is lacking from a variety of reasons but mainly it is based upon teaching high school students what they need to know to go to college and teaching college student what they need to know to go to graduate school and teaching grad students what they need to know to further their education with a doctorate degree...

Education does not teach students what they need to know to be successful in the marketplace if students are not interested in going to college...

Military education outside of operating a tank or firing a variety of different weapons is excellent, especially those who want to become pilots.  So, it is not a bad idea to graduate from high school and go into the military and receive a technical education...

It is even possible to stay in the military and using the University of Phoenix acquire a bachelors and masters degrees before one's 20 year commitment ends.  Then, one can spend another 20 years in the business marketplace and have 2 retirements plus social security if they select the right second employer.  All one needs is to work for 40 quarters or 10 years to receive social security.

Education in America because of the focus on higher and higher education teaches students to memorize for the "A" then forget so they can memorize again.  Students have straight "A's" but have retained very little.
