A Universal Certificate.

Fred has a pretty good suggestion about how to deal with poor education in america. Stop educating. Just come up with a series of standard tests for both High School and College level courses, and let score speak for itself when one is applying for a job. This info could be learned at school, or home, or wherever. The only problem is, as fred notes....

"Who would write the universal test? There's the rub. If the present professoriate got anywhere near it, they would intellectually disembowel it, translate it into Ebonics, and stuff it full of crypto-Marxist blather like a taxidermist given to excess. I would suggest a committee of people who had worked in their fields but could prove they had never taught."

A warning for those who would read Fred's site. He pulls no punches, and his beliefs are, well, paleoconservative is the most apt description I can give. Many will be offended, especially when he speaks on the subject of race. You have been warned.
