Here are two quotes:
• The CEO of Siemens* America – a company that brought hundreds of new jobs to
North Carolina – has said that if we upgrade our infrastructure, they'll bring even more jobs.
* Siemens is one of Germany's largest technology companies.
• Let's also make sure that a high school diploma puts our kids on a path to a good job. Right now, countries like Germany focus on graduating their high school students with the equivalent of a technical degree from one of our community colleges, so that they're ready for a job. At schools like P-Tech in Brooklyn, a collaboration between New York Public Schools, the City University of New York, and IBM, students will graduate with a high school diploma and an associate degree in computers or engineering.
This isn't to endorse Mr. Obama, but rather to highlight the positives in German education.
