If you're looking to raise one of the most powerful business leaders in the world, you might want to send your kid to Hyderabad Public School, Begumpet, in India. In an interview with Stephen Dubner on an episode of the "Freakonomics" podcast, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella mentioned that not only did he attend the high school, but so did Shantanu Narayen, the CEO of Adobe, and Ajay Banga, the CEO of Mastercard.

Hyderabad Public School is what Americans would consider a private school — though in India, like England, such schools are called public schools.

According to Hyderabad Public School's website, it was established in 1923 as a school for the sons of aristocrats, modeled after Eton College in London. Last year, it was ranked one of the top 10 schools in India.

Some of India. The vast majority of Indians still live no better than they did a hundred years ago.

And a single high school in Florida has produced the vile and filthy-mouthed Hogg. Leftist indoctrination - the advancement of common core over common sense.

I am currently reading a collection of Rudyard Kipling’s stories and poems.

I noted that it hasn’t changed much....................

Start with intelligent and dedicated parents who send their children to a traditional British school known for excellence, and success is virtually assured.

I was in India two weeks ago on business, in Bangalore. India has changed a lot in the last 15 years - no more threat of famine, nearly every person I saw on the streets regardless of income level seems to have a smart phone, new construction everywhere, lots of new cars on the streets. It's obviously still a Third World nation and poverty is easy to spot, but the pockets of wealth are spreading- this is a nation digging itself out of poverty at a pretty fast rate.

Microsoft is circling the drain. Terrible customer service and products that have become unusable.

I tend to believe that these foreigners, all of Silicon Valley is non american, are favored because they are not Americans. Google, fakebook,everyone in customer service at amazon — all of them are visa workers brought in to displace American workers.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
STOP!
Give credit where credit is due.
if you check his background he appears to be an export from Kalifornia.
and his daddy is former FBI
and his momma is a CNN on-air person (or producer?)

Florida has some real dummies (for example Deborah Wasserman Schultz), but for the super-fruit-cakes they look to the experts.

“It’s obviously still a Third World nation and poverty is easy to spot, but the pockets of wealth are spreading- this is a nation digging itself out of poverty at a pretty fast rate. “

like China, only a Democracy. both are vital cultures ... contrast with Arabia, Africa, and South America ... the Persians would have been there too if they hadn’t embraced Islam ...

China must be worried. More freedom in India means more military superiority.
