[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Students from less developed countries are practically killing themselves to gain access to the highest reaches of the US education system.  Notwithstanding the protectionist and isolationist waves sweeping through the western world right now, the compensation for jobs and labor will increasingly be valued on a world-market scale.  Further, the skills that will be valued going forward are not the same as those that were valued during our generation.  The only security and advantage sou can give to your child are a strong work ethic and the best education available to them (this is not to be read as some judgment that private education is superior).  No one in China or India is asking themselves the question, "Was it worth it to work hard and achieve the best education available?'  The answer to them is self evident.

Last point I want to make.  Socioeconomic mobility is at a low point in this country right now.  You settle for 'good enough' at your own peril.[/quote]

Agree with you 1000%![/quote]
