U.S. Education Eroding World Technology Leadership

e-prairie discusses a number of recent comments from the technology community on our education problems:

• The American Electronics Association on losing our competitive advantage.
• The OECD's Program for International Student Assessment
• Pay for performance teacher compensation movements
• Milton Friedman on School Choice
• Bill Gates on our obsolete high schools

The New York Times Editorial Page agrees with Bill Gates and takes the States to task for "embracing the lowest common denominator".
