Have we Americans forgotten our own history? We did not become a perfected democracy overnight. Although we declared our independence in 1776 and most think of that as the birth date of our nation, George Washington was not elected President until the U.S. Constitution went into effect in 1789. That was 13 years later. Many in our country and around the world seem unwilling to wait 13 months in Iraq's case, let alone 13 years for a constitution and a President.

But when all is said and done, the solution here actually seems relatively simple. So that vitally important skills like learning foreign languages are not forgotten, concentration requirements should be first standardized and then reduced to, say, 12 half courses. Ultimately, there’s nothing wrong with only knowing almost everything about something. But there’s plenty the matter with knowing very little about a great deal...
