[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work in a highly technical field - advance material and measurement. It IS extremely hard to find domestic researchers to fill the vacancies. We always have to hire oversea, China, India, France, Italy. . . Academic-wise, US is behind in nurturing our own kids. 6th grade Algebra is really nothing when you turn around and look at the world. It is basic math in some sense. Accelerated too much? Are you kidding? Slow down? Is this a joke? At our home, we don't follow MCPS's curriculum, we follow DC's readiness. She does her homework on her own, and take additional lessons from us.[/quote] IMO it's also that kids don't want STEM careers. I worked with an intern from MIT; really smart guy. When it came time to graduate instead of working in a STEM field he got his MBA and went off into the business world so that he could make more money. [/quote]
