Remember the post I made on April 12 about the U.S. education system falling behind in science and high-tech education? Well, on Monday, Bill Gates gave a talk to the Society of American Business Editors & Writers in which he said, “the United States is in grave danger of losing its economic advantages to fast-growing nations like China, unless the country restores its lead in education and other policies supporting growth.” The News.com article also mentioned, “Cisco Systems and Intel executives also have cast recent spotlights on the need to improve schools, and particularly math and science education, in order to remain competitive.”

Of course, the likelihood that Bill Gates actually read my blog is as infinitesimal as the universe is large. Still, I appreciate Bill’s support on this issue. 🙂
