I am completely exhausted by all the H1B stories from India. I don’t know why they don’t have an Indian Dream so they can make their move into their own upper classes. I think we should promote our own intellectual resources. I know that we aren’t doing much through our schools, but I did most of my education for myself. They handed me a Dick and Jane reader and got mad that I read the whole thing in a couple of minutes. It was supposed to last several months.
I went through 12 years of school without doing any homework. I didn’t have a clorox bottle to make a piggy bank because my older sister emptied it out for her project. I had to wear clothes that my older brother had grown out of but he was fat and I was skinny. Yet still I made a career in IT. We need to tell our kids that they can excel even without the school system. Not that they need to drop out but at least they can be successful at their own learning.
Because India has a huge surplus of IT workers. That is why they are scattered all over the world looking for jobs.
