Settling for Status Quo

According to an article on AP, Parents and students see no problem with the math and science education.

"In Maine, there aren't many jobs that scream out 'math and science,'" said Cook, who lives in Etna, in the central part of the state. Yes, both topics are important, but "most parents are saying you're better off going to school for something there's a big need for."

Perhaps this is the reason we graduate college students who can't even balance their checkbook.
