[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Regardless, that doesn’t give the government the right to import labor and suppress wages.

And if those immigrants are truly the brightest, then how is it that their children — who are Americans — are suddenly considered the “dumb” ones?[/quote]

I'm an immigrant. I don't consider myself particularly bright. I came to the US 25 years ago to start college. Due to the situation in my home country, I barely had any HS education. However, my elementary and MS education were so strong that I did extremely well and had 4.0 GPA (3.9 at graduation) even in a foreign language. My education growing up was extremely rigorous and demanding. And we were really poor too!! Like missing meals kind of poor and not just me but most of the kids. My child has had all of his education in the US. He is in HS now and taking AP classes and just now learning the stuff we learned in elementary school when I was growing up. I don't consider him any less smart than me. I am not that smart!

You just described the result of setting high expectations for students.

Study after study confirms the fact that setting higher expectations leads to greater achievement and success.

America’s failure has been to continually set lower expectations for our students, due to . . .  reasons.

Isn't that exactly what I said, lol? Maybe i'm missing something. [/quote]
