U.S. Workers Show Little Improvement in 21st Century Skills

U.S. workers are failing to improve the skills needed to succeed in an increasingly global economy, according to a government agency report released Friday.
The National Center for Education Statistics asked 3,300 respondents ages 16-to-65 to read simple passages and solve basic math problems. What the researchers found is that literacy, numeracy and digital problem-solving ability in the U.S. have stagnated over the past few years.
I suggest that this is because public schools have turned from training children in skills useful for life to indoctrination centers for proglodyte politically-correct social attitudes. The ‘participation trophy’ tells you everything you need to know about this degeneration.
