Forbes on Fox and Cavuto show kept repeating: “talent shortage” in America....got to bring in outside help. American should be offended.
Even the STEM graduates from colleges across the nation can’t compete with the skills of many foreign college students. I studied computer science, then computer engineering, then electrical engineering before finally settling into English Comp, and I can tell you that most American students struggled in collegiate math and Engineering courses. Our children are not being taught higher level maths in high school which puts them at a significant disadvantage in college.
There was an article recently that showed the number of students in remedial college math courses has skyrocketed over the last 20 years. Students are not graduating from high school with an understanding of math and science the way that Indian and Chinese students are.
I often found myself struggling with high-level calculus questions while Indian and Chinese group members were blazing through the calculations, oftentimes in their heads. I’m more advanced than most with my understanding of math, but you put me up against a Chinese or Indian kid out of a middle-tier grade, they’ll blow my doors off.
