President Obama's weekly address: Education

President Obama in his weekly address stated that the education matters. The President stated that the United States ranks 16th in the world competitions in education, in reading, math, and sciences. The race to the top program, he insisted, puts the nation back on the track to compete with the all competitors in the world.

Is this society providing just any incentives at home for students to learn?

The question is, how do you teach people who do not believe in authority? There always seem to be the excuses for not knowing. Politics plays a role in what we should know.

Knowing the Greek economy could have helped the world market from going up and down. Knowing the partisan struggles could save the nation from shutting down. Knowing Russian democracy could exclude us from getting into wars again.

We, should not hate knowledge. Knowing "too much" or knowing "enough" should not be any excuse for those in charge not to provide the environment for knowing. Let us hope that the United States stays as the champion of democracy by not falling into right-wing war-loving 'popular' centralized state whose economy suffers from huge war expenses.
