Ha, Ha; some funny but fitting stuff posted here!
I can see the Chinese outputting more engineers than our Countries because of their educational disciplines. Face it, our kids today aren't being challenged enough to think.
I teach business courses at the high school and I show the kids how the math skills apply to everyday life after graduation. But no way to shake it, becoming an engineer takes some smarts; period. Even out of every 100 that do become engineers, how many really practise in the trade?
The Chinese society is poised for great educational results IMO.
I've got 5 kids and not one has taken to math in their school work?
I've never been able to figure out how to explain to the kids why they'll ever need the skills of solving a problem with 27 unkowns though?
