I have been visiting America since 1978, and have great praise for its Institutions of Higher Learning. I trained with General Motors, was a Management specialist, an MIS Manager for some time and then went back to General Management till I retired as an Advisor in one of the world's biggest conglomerate. 1978 through 1987 I visited many ancillary and small industries and was astounded at the skills of American workers of all colors, including women. These folks were very humorous and kind too as seen by the beer and soda bottles left in the cartons shipped to us in India. But then America decided to move many of these ancillary industries to China loosing many of the basic skills. Now there are no more apprentices being imparted these basic skills like making knives, scissors, glass bottles, cans etc, as these have all been sub-contracted abroad. And without these basic skills one cannot learn the higher skills required for a nation to grow and sustain itself. Asian kids have overtaken the world with a storm at schools and colleges, whereas others need calculators to add 12 + 17. God Bless America and wish it wakes up to the hard reality - bring back manufacturing - every thing - toys, needles, spoons .... including Computer Science at the Florida College that has dropped it from the curriculum.
