It is a Catch 22.
The cheap imports are decreasing wages and job openings.
So why study hard subjects if you are for nothing, but punishment?
So there are not that many US graduates, so more imports are needed, which then decrease the US students desirability of these subjects.
The only solution is to cut the knot!
Just stop or highly reduce H1B for some time, until real shortages develop and US kids notice that these subjects are really good to study!
I think, the $100,000 is good start! If some company really needs somebody, they will gladly pay.
If not, that person is obviously not that needed!
Fix the education system instead of hiring foreign workers.
Use Saxon Math for one thing and get away from Common Core crap.
Sorry, but this excuse just doesn’t fly!
Ther are plenty of American tech workers sitting on the side-lines because the H1-Bs work for less and the majority of tech contracting agencies are run by Indians (re: racism).
Nice try on pretending there is actually a problem to be solved using H1—Bs though!
H1-Bs are a scam!
the recruiters are indian.
they control who is submitted to what jobs.
many Americans never even see most positions before they’re already awarded an indian.
Common Core did to math education what whole word replacing phonics did to English language education.
“If an unfriendly foreign power had attempted to impose on America the mediocre educational performance that exists today, we might well have viewed it as an act of war.”
A Nation at Risk, 1983
And we were sold a bill of goods by the education *experts* that this was the way to go.
If I were Czar the first thing I would do is disband all the colleges of education. Based on results, they are completely counterproductive.
” In 2024, a staggering 72% of eighth-graders failed to score at the proficient level in math...”
It is likely that the sample did not include home schooled youth.
711 and Duncan Donuts also love H1Bs.
“The real reason for these visas is our schools aren’t teaching math well enough.”
Hard to teach math when half the class has 80 IQs.
I saw the way they are teaching multiplication in Common Core. It’s nuts. Parents can’t help the kids, even after trying to learn how it’s taught. If they teach what they know it isn’t “how they want us to do it”...which should be irrelevant, either you get the right answer or you don’t.
I’ve always thought it was deliberate.
Math (word problems, algebra and calculus) teaches you how to think. It is more than adding numbers.
Why are all of history’s greatest thinkers mathematicians?

math is weight-lifting for the mind ...
