[quote=Anonymous]One of the reasons that the Asian countries out perform the US is that competition is so much more fierce in these countries. The curriculum is more rigorous but this is nothing compared to the entrance exams and level of competition to move onto higher education. Americans are very lazy. They ride on perceived laurels and haven't experienced the intense competition that countries with surging populations and intense poverty experience. The "poor" in Montgomery County would be in shock if they had to live in the conditions of the middle class let alone the poor in these countries. Americans are very clueless. Public education is barely more than a rubber stamp in the US. In other countries, its the only way to survive.

When immigrants come to this country based on succeeding through education, they can bring with them a dedication to education that is desperately needed in the US education system. They encounter a lack luster system that cares very little about gaining knowledge or encouraging achievement.

Math 2.0 is a huge step backwards. The Asian kids will be fine. Their parents will teach them on their own. Its the Americans that lose out but if you don't care about math or STEM perhaps this is fine for you. [/quote]
