I’ll never understand the point about the “competitiveness of US workers.” When I think of US workers, they are people working in Wal-Mart, or McDonalds or on an assembly line. They can be taught basic functions - they don’t need a college education.
Who are these people competing with? Is there a “worker Olympics” somewhere.

From what I have been able to discern, it was NOT “developed by the states” at all. It was hatched in DC and dispensed to the states. Beware...
"Competitiveness", when you are judging yourself by the performance of others, or"Competency", when you are developing your own natural talents to their best potential?
