The United States is right now sucking in education in comparison with the rest of the world. We need to start to pick up the pace. What I think that we should do is to make the government set a standard of education that is the bare minimum an school system is required to reach.
Also STEM, Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math, is right now in high demand in the world's jobs. The government must increase attention to this and they must increase standards in these areas in order for the United States to become the smartest and the most technological nation in the world.
