[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I figure we need to offer advanced math to all the kids in order to figure out who the smartones are. We don't have a shortage of STEM professionals, what we have is a surplus of dumbasses.[/quote] Actually, we do have a shortage of STEM professionals, which is why so many STEM professionals are coming to the US from places like China and India on visa.[/quote] So true. I work as a PhD Engineer. While we don't need even half the kids in STEM we need many more than we have now. Go to any grad school, technology company or science conference and you will be amazed at how few US citizens are there. Good for the world but I think we need to do better if we want to maintain our economy, they won't come here forever. You would be amazed at how much of the cutting edge work is being done outside of the US. We need kids to take algebra etc. because we don't know who will be the ones to go into STEM.[/quote]
