Where did the money go?

Looks like the school did not get the money. So some how the school sold info, but a non profit got the money. Sounds fishy...

ITS SAME -SAME. Why worry?

Theoretically you worry because you would rather the competition not get an edge in the cutting edge technology race. Do you really want other nations to have quantum computers before us? Space weapons? Other unknown next gen tech?

Believe me.

There are thousands and thousands of extremely rigorous STEM-heavy school all over Asia, in China, Taiwan, Singapore, S. Korea, Japan, etc. Their students run rings around our students.

China probably bought this out of curiosity, to find out what a highly-reputed STEM high school in the US was doing. And maybe they'll chuckle a bit and pass it around to friends for a laugh.

If you've been living under a rock for a generation, and you somehow still think the US is in any way competitive in the global K-12 education market...

... you have to wake up to the dire state of US education today. TJ may be among the best STEM schools we have, but it's certainly not special in Asia.

The US has world-class graduate institutions, that are extremely well-funded compared to those in other countries. This is why you see a brain drain from other countries to the US at the graduate level. Not really before that, except for some well-heeled families who believe that sending their kids to high school or undergrad here will get them an easier spot at Harvard Medical School.

Actually, international schools, even international branches of high-performing UK/US schools (like the overseas branches of Dulwich College), are a rapidly expanding industry in China and across Asia.

I'm an American teacher at one of the many international schools in Singapore. We have 2000+ students, most of whom are Asian. There are plenty of Asian parents eager to pay $$$$ for a Western education.
