I'm not so sure. I think this shows a bias toward english lit and people who go into teaching. I would argue that math and STEM are more important. Real math, not MCPS 2.0 math. Math and STEM are less problematic for ESL students (again real math not MCPS math).

There are more lucrative jobs to lift them out of poverty from these fields too. These jobs are focused much more on skills, intelligence and what you produce than other fields that trend toward more racially and gender divided with minorities on the bottom. Its also a real opening for US job growth.[b] STEM in US education is so terrible that companies focus on sponsoring professionals educated outside the US.[/b] [/quote]

This is so true. My husband's tech company has maybe 10-15% US educated software engineers. All the rest come from all over the world. [/quote]
