[quote=Anonymous][quote]Because if you're "advanced", you will go to a "good" college and get the right resume and make a lot of money (and claim to be middle class on a HHI of $350,000+) and be a success. 
Whereas if you're not "advanced", you will go to a community college and live in a trailer park and be a failure. 
And there are only so many people who can be successes -- the rest will be failures -- and you want to make sure your child is among the successes and not the failures.[/quote]

You're clearly being snotty but Americans NEED to realize that if you do not work hard enough to be or become advanced and just slide through school to community college, you will not be successful. You don't understand that other countries are exponentially outpacing you. The population is so high in China and India that the competition is 100 times more intense than it is here just to make the first cut. The culture puts a much higher expectation toward academic success than American culture.

t would be nice if everyone could continue to do poorly in academic in America and still be successful but this isn't what will happen. The jobs and careers that you think you will have are going overseas or companies are hiring from abroad. [/quote]
