Another interesting Tom Friedman piece. The first part is a thinly veiled lesson in how countries that are beating the US in education are doing it (which is most of the rest of the first-world).
Hint...it is not by catering to teacher unions and letting a bunch of cost-cutting states decimate the public education systems in the name of 'states rights'.
The rest of the article is about how having the right skills at the right time and being flexible is much more important than 'work hard and play by the rules' (one of Obama's frequent sayings, after Bill Clinton).
