No disrespect meant, on my part, to America, but when your system gets results by graduation on par with some African countries, you’re not losing out on much by losing a year of math.

This is a good opportunity to get the TEA out so that the states can assume responsibility again for educating the children.

I seriously doubt that any African country lets 19% graduate from high school illiterate. Most might not attend high school at all, but those who do are required to actually learn. They don’t have the time or money to spend on babysitting.
