"I will tell you that yeah, the Chinese can take a test, but what they can't do is innovate. They are not terribly imaginative."

I agree. I'm an engineer. I have worked with quite a few Chinese engineers. On the whole: really, really bad. They simply can't think out of the box.

Did Carly Fiorina Say Education Is Overrated? If So, She’s Right

OverPRICED, certainly, thanks to government intervention.

Common Core is poison to our youngsters and by extension to the future of this country. The fact that the Chinese cannot innovate, as Ms. Fiorina states, is a powerful argument against CC.

Keep on talkin’ Carly - keep on talkin’...

I would say that 75 to 85 percent of the kids in college, right now, do not belong there.

Well she’s right about innovation. The Chicoms have to reverse engineer our stuff and then rip it off and duplicate.

Most of what passes for education these days is credentialing. If that is what she means, she is right. I think it is impossible to overrate actual eduction.
