In my opinion, the US desperately needs to change its views from traditional education towards Mathematics and Science (of any kind) as a forefront, no longer promoting English as a major.
I find that being an English major is quite a waste of time. It might just be me, but I find English and History classes to be quite boring. How I see it. . . people should be taking Math/Science classes as well as major into them, while being able to be competent enough to write a thorough essay to pass said classes.
Upon a world scale (I think), the US doesn't even scale in the top 10 Math/Science guided countries. I'm sure the top 4 go to Asian countries.
TLDR: If teenagers want to keep being stupid and fail to further the US's progression into pertinent fields, let them. I'd rather them out of the gene pool. =/
THIS IS MY OPINION. I AM NOT BASHING OTHER PEOPLE. I AM EXPRESSING MY THOUGHTS.
