>> Abstract:
>> The role of improved schooling, a central part of most development
>> strategies, has become controversial because expansion of school
>> attainment has not guaranteed improved economic conditions. This paper
>> reviews the role of education in promoting economic well-being,
>> focusing on the role of educational quality. It concludes that there
>> is strong evidence that the cognitive skills of the population -
>> rather than mere school attainment - are powerfully related to
>> individual earnings, to the distribution of income, and to economic
>> growth. New empirical results show the importance of both minimal and
>> high-level skills, the complementarity of skills and the quality of
>> economic institutions, and the robustness of the relationship between
>> skills and growth. International comparisons incorporating expanded
>> data on cognitive skills reveal much larger skill deficits in
>> developing countries than generally derived from just school
>> enrollment and attainment. The magnitude of change needed makes it
>> clear that closing the economic gap with industrial countries will
>> require major structural changes in schooling institutions.

Bwahahaha!!! Bwahahaha!!!! Ladies and gentleman, this is how "Your
Name" replies. I can't help but fall off my chair!! Please, please
please, call RichAsianKid more names please, more names please, like
more "Mr Crackpot or Boy Barmy" !!!! Bwahahahaha!!!!
Afterall, that's just so ad hominem isn't it? Ladies and gents, may I
present "Your Name" Bwahahaha!!! (Gotta join in the fun - hey did
"Your Name" get his 'hard science' degree thru affirmative action?
Bwahahaha!!! He said that he had a hard science degree before!
Bwahahaha!!! I just can't get over this! This is just about the best
bit of amusement I ever had! Bwahahaha!!!!)
Alright alright, let's stand straight here. I ask you guys this. Did
poster "Your Name" counter with one single iota of evidence that what
RichAsianKid posted was false? Hmmmmmm???? Did he or did he not?
Did he counter with, say, a study that demonstrates that lighter skin
is associated with lower IQ, or that lower IQ is associated with
higher standardized test scores, or that lower standardized test
scores are associated with higher economic status?
Ladies and gents, it's all hysterics. And yes, it's also deafening
silence...that too, that too....
I rest my case. ;)
