<DIV>I'm glad to see that your response time has gotten shorter. It must be the winter olympics.</DIV>

<DIV>I suppose that would depend upon how you define '<SPAN class=correction id="">benefits</SPAN>' and 'educated'. The last I heard only 50 % of those who graduate from High School actually go on to Higher education and of those 30 % have to take <SPAN class=correction id="">remedial</SPAN> math and <SPAN class=correction id="">remedial</SPAN> language classes over in order to enter into college. I used to teach the high school graduates that couldn't add, subtract, multiply and <SPAN class=correction id="">divide</SPAN> properly. If I had given them the above data in the form of a word problem, many of them would have added the 50 to the 30 and come up with - 80% can pass the basic math problems with ease.....</DIV>

<DIV>Oh, by the way, I'm not smug I just have a head cold.... Thanks for your concern!</DIV>
