Discussion on:

Attention parents, graduates, high-school guidance counselors and recently idled adults: Read this report

You got the state your for Baldor Electric, it is Arkansas not Arizona, see http://www.baldor.com/about/default.asp

Atten: Graduates?
AR ... Arkansas
AZ ... Arizona
Baldor Electric's location isn't in AZ.

Why is this such a common mistake?... among the educated?
Why wasn't this caught earlier?
no proof reading? (poor process controls?)
Educational?( poor schooling?)
Lazy? (poor work ethic? no double checking of facts?)

yea, complaint not related to clean energy.
But it is related to education..(and jobs)
and maybe related to why only 4 of the top ten are in the USA.

should review the back page of "New Mexico" magazine..
("one of our states is missing")
Many sad (and funny) stories of how our poorly educated our students are on US geography.

And I do believe there is a relationship between science and all other subjects in school.

Hell, I get AZ and AR mixed up all the time, and I'm brilliant...or so my mother says!
