[quote=Anonymous]That "lagging Asian countries" red flag has been waving for 30 years, meanwhile the US consistently has the most steady economy, has the highest advances in science and technology.

It's a drum beat scare tactic that is not true.

I've been in high tech development for 40 years and have also taught at engineering universities, you do get a wave like the outsourcing to India or even Japan, but it always comes back.  I have been around many Asian students, and they do well because they cluster up, study constantly and are very exclusionary.  Part of the problem was the language barrier, part of it was they just don't like Americans very much.

Guess what, they don't get the high paying jobs.  They have no creativity, they are afraid of any original ideas and rarely become lead designers or architects.

First generation Asian-Americans assimilate very quickly and are just like their American counterparts.

The math in MCPS is ridiculous, we don't need some nebulous Asian standard, we set the standard and need to work on doing better than we did yesterday, not sliding back whole grade levels in instruction.[/quote]
