Yes. And part of the problem is parents. They can't stand it when their kids are smarter than them. So they keep em down.

Always take it a level higher and never underestimate the potential.

I never met a parent with that attitude. Never. Conservatives seem to make up crap, just like their opponents.

Correct. For most part, American parents are too lazy and unmotivated to properly raise their children.

This is one of the main reasons why corporations want foreign workers.

Well, I don't believe that. But I do think that younger parents are making a big mistake by sending their kids off to school too young. Pre-kindergarten, or even kindergarten might be just the thing for a hippie Mom who wants to set about and smoke pot all day, but it's a dirty rotten way to treat your kid... :(
