ABSTRACT

Workers found that more education made society more fluid — more education made it easier to move from one job to another and perhaps advance in doing so. All of the factors — along with increasing urbanization and recognition of the value of education — dramatically increased incentives for high school and college degrees. The promise of improving education by spending more relative dollars was broken. Taxpayers funded the educational system by digging into their pockets at the time purchasing power of nearly four-fifths of United States private-sector jobs was in decline. Parental involvement is needed both at-home and at-school to attempt to limit the influence of labor unions in the educational system and to generate across-the-board improvement in educational quality. In math, the educational system is generating relative improvement in scores of two major ethnic groups. They are Math Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) Scores by Ethnic Group and Verbal SAT Scores by Ethnic Group.
