the more you know the better. Knowledge is power. the IQ test are always needing to be adjusted because every generation is getting smarted. you have to stay on top of technology or you will be Left behind

In my opinion, online education is only suitable for those who are very self-disciplined. It is very easy to fall-behind and then eventually become swamped, where there is no return.

It is very good for education, however job prospects are not so good. USA is the best!

Brain drain you say, see science and politics play hand and hand. My perspective is more optimistic, I do believe that our country has shown signs of distractions, but none of which I believe affects our education, no. See the world around us is at an intense war minded nature, we as Americans are setting certain things aside to be aware of the natures. If a country such as this, isn't fully aware of it's surroundings states a potential mishap may occur. \n\nBrain drain, no, i think more of a brain strain, it's not easy staying afloat politically as an international giant and continue to remember to find times for new discovery's.\n\nSocial Science seems to be our biggest impacts in these streets. More focus's in our neighborhoods are surely clearing the obscenities we still continue to face daily (Crooked politicians, Narrow visioned law enforcement, and bendable court regulation, etc... ) We have to be more alert, no doubt. keeping us more sharp to that of our future.

I would start by taking a GOOD look at our education system. It is failing. Europeans are ahead of us so are many others. If we do not cultivate the kids who will run our country down the line? more idiots. Other issues bug me but education would be my number one.

Education is a good thing but in some cases a little of it is dangerous and I feel in your case it is extremely dangerous. \nIdiocy is bestowed on the few by God we are told and by god you are gifted.

i am only 19 years old and i guarantee i know at least 5 times as much as my parents knew back when they were in high school... as civilization changes so does technology...every year it gets more and more harder. in new york state you must have a regents diploma to graduate.. then again education is better in new york then most southern states.  \non the other hand ,japans technology far exceeds ours    we are months late. look at their cars for example     and gaming systems\nthe fact is our children will far exceed our learning capacity. look how smart todays todlers are. we look back at our parents technology and laugh   our kids or grandkids will do the same to us

The future is about possibilities, not certainty. Know what you want and create it. Be open to opportunity and seize it.

Get a better education and get a better job.

Dont worry. As this world industrialzes and modernizes further the cultures that value education and knowlege will prosper. Those that do not will falter. Keep in mind we are on the cusp of two important revolutions; information sharing and energy. America and other developed countries have a lot to gain by improving the way people communicate and how we heat our houses, power our cars and travel around the world. We have only just begun to use science to improve our world. The things we will do in the future will make todays technology seem like the dark ages. So, dont be so fearful of the future. We have only just begun.

Yes Education is worth what ever it takes. Go for it.

Years ago, inner-city public schools were fine institutions of learning and prepared their students for the working world.\n\nI think that current inner city public schools are an abomination and do not properly prepare the students for college or career.\n\nI find that suburban school districts, private schools and charter schools give our children an excellent education to prepare them for their futures.

I taught in a public school for three years.  The "powers that be" actually told me to stop grading for grammatical and spelling errors, saying all of my students would fail.  That is a travesty.  From my perspective as a teacher, ignorance (which is what I believe you are really asking) is on the rise.  Despite compulsory education, it almost appears to me that we are reverting to a 19th century-like model with an educated few and masses of ignorance.

**calms the people down**\n\nHonestly, we've had trends like this for years and years. This is what continues to make school systems all over the country continually adjust their curriculums. This is a good thing. This is not a panic situation. Let me see if I can explain......\n\nDo you remember when we were young and they introduced "New Math?" It was always the brunt of many jokes because people then wanted to know how it differed from the "old math." But it was a trend. The true basis of the trend was in upping the awareness of the necessity of math. We were moving toward metric; we were using measurement and applied mathematics. And with awareness......science and math scores rose. Then what happened? We felt deficits in reading and writing. So what was the trend then? "WHOLE LANGUAGE!" This catch phrase was used throughout the land. Incorporating reading and writing into an integrated whole language approach. Was this really much different from what we were already doing? Not so much. But did it raise awareness of the need? Absolutely! So my first point is that trends of math scores and language scores vying for top marks has been around for years and years. \n\nNow on to proficiency levels. This is good news as well. As a whole, our population's testing scores have risen. So happens as a result? Well.....we need a statistics expert here to explain this more accurately than myself. But surely my novice explanation might make a bit of sense. As scores as a whole rise, the median score rises. What once was above average performance may now only fall in the "average" range because of the rise in scores as a whole. Naturally as the proficiency level rises.....a great population is then put into a lower achievement level. (does this make sense at all?) The media often pounce on this. Perhaps to have news to report to scare the beejeezus out of everyone, or again, to help with "awareness." But regardless, it puts people that are not involved in education in a panic mode. Proficiency tests don't always measure achievement. And luckily enough, schools do. :) We use these scores yearly as a checks and balances system to make sure that skills are being taught and learned. We use them to notice changes in childrens levels and abilities as well. \n\nNow about your question. pfffffft don't worry! The "nerdis Americanus" is still alive and living within us. I'm afraid we'll keep breeding them over and over for years to come! :)\n\n*sniffs and pushes her glasses up on her nose**

Sorry but our views differ.ICSE helps in a better way for future.And u don`t need to wrk very hard if u can do it in a simpler way.

As far as booksmarts & the ability to multitask goes, we will be smarter. As far as common sense, I believe that we have already gotten dimmer over even the last ten years. The ease of technology on our everyday lives, I think, is undermining our common sense & street smarts :)\n\nGood question!

Just about all of the current problems will be gone, one way or another, and there will be new ones to replace them.\n\nTechnology will be light years ahead.  The more things advance and the more knowledge we have the more we are capable of advancing more rapidly.  The changes in the world in the last 50 years will be nothing in comparison to the changes for the next 50 years.
