What’s happening is very simple — America and Americans now have to deal with the world in a different way.
That means competition in manufacturing, science and technology. It no longer matters if American kids are well educated because there are half a billion well educated Korean or Chinese kids who can do the same job.
A question. If these kids are so well educated why are so many bright Asian kids sitting in front of me in my class in Woodside? My class has 17 Aisian kids with less than 4 months in the USA. You would think people satisfied with their kids education wouldn’t be eager to move 12000 miles to a place that’s as strange to them as the Moon.
