[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As much as we talk about the difficulty of college admissions, American high school students are not learning enough content to compete in a global market. The SAT is not rigorous and barely tests at a pre-calculus level. Our students are dropping out of STEM programs like flies, and students aren’t graduating with the skills needed to compete in the entry level market. What reforms should we make?[/quote]
Huh? US grads at the vast majority f T75schools and especially T15are highly competitive in a global market, majority compete quite well with international students often better. T15 stem programs have 97% retention in engineering, my kid’s ivy has 99%. The average starting salary in stem is over 100k for the best of these elites, 65k plus for the majority of the T75 in stem. That is an excellent starting salary and very much a living wage, and 100k is obviously an amazing starting salary. USA’s best and brightest are doing very well and the above average ones do fine too. Find a different problem to worry about[/quote]
