It’s all because of immigration. Import the third world, become the third world.[/quote]

But the immigrants are doing very well in education.  All the Asian-Americans are just exceptional students who have better English scores in all the standardized tests than...White and Black Americans who have lived here for more than 2 generations. Why is that? [/quote]

They have parents who care and prioritize their education and enrichment.  The secret sauce in Asian-American academic success is their culture and family.  They are hard workers and believe in improving themselves. What other explanation is there for children of non-native English speakers, excelling in English comprehension and creative writing?  They have educated themselves.   In fact, most of these kids also excel in elocution. You see them excel in debate, poetry slams, speech etc. [/quote]

Yes.  Check out the National Spelling Bee line up or and computer science competition [/quote]
