[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.

The one criticism of Chinese education is it doesn’t produce creative thinkers. A big portion of their economy is based on good and ideas that were copied from US and European models. If you have jobs that require rote calculation and programming, then the Chinese make good candidates. They also don’t study history and there isn’t much in the way of grammar. They also don’t emphasize playing or recess. So, there is a lot of time to study math and science, yes. [/quote]
