Why education is not enough

Why education is not enough

Is education so important?


Education accounts for 8.7% of the U.S. economy

There are 3.8 million teachers in the US.

New York has the largest private higher  education sector in the nation, with 167,450 jobs in 2009—more than 40 percent larger than  second-ranked California. New York accounts for 14.4 percent of all private higher education  jobs in the nation.

New York State’s unemployment rate is 7.5%  (July 18, 2013)

National education budget (2007): $1.1 trillion (public and private, all levels)

Among the country's adult population, over 85 percent have completed high
school and 27 percent have received a bachelor's degree or higher.

Math and science majors are popular until students realize what they’re getting
 themselves into, according to  a working paper published by the
National Bureau of Economic Research.

Students knew science was hard to  begin with, but for a lot of them it turned
out to be much worse than what  they expected,” said Todd R. Stinebrickner,
 one of the paper’s authors.  “What they didn’t expect is that even if
they work hard, they still won’t do well.”

The U.S. economy posted a stunning drop of 0.1 percent in the fourth quarter of 2012.

Who controls the US economy and the world economy?



The Federal Reserve Bank "Fed"  is controlling  the credit and currency of the world through trade and foreign  policies of  the U.S.

It controls the US economy and the world economy.

American people do not decide for themselves if they wish  to control the  world economy with their tax dollars.

 There is no National debt,  there is  world economy debt and that is controlled by the Fed.

Foreign countries finance US trade through  their dollar purchases of US Treasuries.

Fed then has to print dollars to send them overseas to pay for the debt.

Why a plane crashes on landing

Why a plane crashes on landing:

The landing gear gets stuck.

The plane lands  on its belly.

Faulty landing gear

The plane overshot the runway

Landing on heavy wind.

An emergency landing.

Plane skidded past the landing strip.

Trim the plane for maximum glide.

Pilot inexperience and excessive speed.

Landing gear failed to deploy.

The engine stopped working.

Attempting to land during a rainstorm.

Aborted  landing.

Attempting landing without gear.

Electronic interference and airplane dysfunction

The best ways to survive a plane crash is to  choose the right seat to avoiding smoke inhalation.

 A look at real-world crash stats, however, suggests  that the farther back you sit, the better your odds of survival. Passengers near the tail of a plane are about 40 percent more likely to survive a crash than those in the first few rows up front.
