[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Curie is basically a FOMO class for Indians. Almost everyone I know enrolled their kids there because, everyone on the street enrolled their kids there and they are afraid their kid would be left behind. Curie is the single most effective way to kill interest in a subject for children. But most of these parents just came straight from small towns in India directly to job here, stayed in an ethnic enclave and were just replicating the wrote learning they were used to back home. [/quote] I disagree with this dismissive attitude towards repetition. Sufficient repetition and drilling allows a B+ student to simulate the performance of an A or A minus student. If it can be achieved through hard work, a lot of these Indiana kids will achieve it. I begrudge them nothing. They earned it We need them. They are the ones that will be driving the frontiers of science and technology. They are the ones that will be filling the coffers of the social security trust fund and creating the industries that will provide good paying jobs for average Americans. It's not going to be the kids that spent their youth in travel sports but can't get through calculus.[/quote]
