Math And Science Rut?

UpstateBlog takes up the issue of math and science education and how we're not getting the job done - either for our kids or for our economy. They note that New York currently produces twice as many college graduates with degrees in psychology, as engineers. The latest Time Magazine also takes up the science issue, noting that our nation is losing its edge in the field due to better trained scientists elsewhere around the globe.
