"To achieve a 25 percent
penetration rate in U.S. homes, it took 35 years for the telephone,
26 yearsfor television, 16 years for personal computers, seven
years for the Internet, and three years for personal digital assistants

"My fear is that
our
schools are so focused on today’s battles - teaching to
the tests - that our students are not receiving the education
they need for the world in which they will live."

"The U.S. fared poorly
overall, coming in 21st among 29 member countries in math and
24th in problem solving, with an overall average of 483 (versus
the survey average of 500).

U.S. curriculums need to focus more on application and relevance,
not just academic rigor, so our students are prepared to compete
in tomorrow's global workplace."
