Hi Mike,
you are still too jung to play with your age! I will become 60 soon and
I'm unable to realize it. But concerning the situation of US school
education: also in Germany the situation had become worse. But, today
pupils are more 'equal' on a common lower level of knowledge. I thought
in US the 'sputnik shock' should have changed something. 

Anyway, I hope at least, nobody feels suppressed asking questions here
due to my remark concerning knowledge!

have a nice day, Rolf
