[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The National Assessment of Educational Progress ("The Nation's Report Card") found that nearly half of high school seniors are testing below a basic level in both subjects, with reading scores hitting a historic low since testing began in 1992.

Have you compared the same clusters to the bottom of the rest of the world?

If you compare the top students globally, I’m fairly confident that the best students in the U.S. can easily outperform those from other countries. First, top U.S. students tend to be exceptionally skilled at multitasking, unlike many top students abroad who focus solely on academics. We also have top students who are Olympiad medalists and others who begin their entrepreneurial journeys at a very young age.

You just can’t oversimplify things by saying that young people are “dumb.” That’s such an irresponsible and generalized statement — it completely overlooks the talent, creativity, and drive that so many young people demonstrate every day.[/quote]

Many yes, but not enough.

If you compare the top students of different countries, [b]America is competitive only because of the children of immigrants.[/b]

We do not nurture excellence here.  We strive for equity, diversity and inclusivity.  If we deliberately developed our smartest kids, we wouldn't need to brain drsain the rest of the world.[/quote]

Sure including children of the European immigrants[/quote]

Why would Europeans want to immigrate here?[/quote]

You do realize that Europe is more than just the EU?[/quote]

Yes. Still, the question remains.[/quote]

The US is very dynamic and fast-paced. So NY and SF are appealing to the more ambitious, high-performing, and well-educated Europeans.

But that's a very small percentage of people. 98 percent of Europeans would not trade places with an American today.[/quote]
