Now that I’m in academia, my eyes have been opened.

Foreign freshmen (Latin America, Africa, Asia etc..), are light years ahead of American kids at the same age. High School is not preparing kids for college level math or writing. I’ve got Chinese freshmen here that can communicate in English better than American kids. Chinese high school has them at a calculus II level as they graduate. WTF is happening???

Was that a real question? Our education system is a joke is what's happening. I just read an article about 2 Jewish students being expelled from school for complaining about a Palestinian flag hanging in the gymnasium.
