[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I also hire a lot of people, as a NASA contractor. Personable people from China, Taiwan, Singapore, Russia, Iran, Israel etc.

My vote is for less emphasis on studying peace, harmony, love and sports in American public high schools and more on math, science, languages, English etc.

The fact is, Wilson's track record on AP participation is dismal. Only a little more than half the students take and pass at least 1 AP with a score of 3 each year.

So the moral of the story is we need all kinds of people.  With that said, Wilson students aren't struggling when they get to college, so they must be doing something right.  You talk about the people you are hiring - most of them can't write themselves out of a paper bag.  You mention we need more languages and English.  That's not just at Wilson, that's at all schools.  Most students can't write worth shit.  I don't care if you can do a math problem if you can't communicate it.[/quote]
