    Here Is a Test Question


    Here is a description of human beings needed
    for the Global Economy:

    willing to spend long hours at a stretch on
    repetitive tasks, and are obedient and easy to
    control.


    Who does this describe?

    a) primary graders in a Reading First school.

    b) workers in export-oriented manufacturing
    units in the Special Economic Zones of China
    (mostly women 16-25 years old)
