Outsourcing Report Blames Schools

From Wired News:

A new report by a U.S. high-tech trade group says companies aren't shipping jobs overseas because of cheap labor. No, they're doing it because American schools don't teach enough math and science.

Of course, it's not like the teachers aren't trying their best to impart math and science skills to students, but rather it's difficult to convince kids the importance of advanced math and science in their adult lives. We've all heard the ubiquitous "Why am learning [fill in the blank] when I'll never use it in real life?" chant.

Here's to hoping that Gizmos help make the math and science teacher's job easier, for the overriding idea behind our multimedia simulations is to make difficult math and science concepts easier to teach and easier for students to understand.
