Just can't believe how far our primary and secondary schools have fallen behind in math and science. A good deal of our engineering work gets farmed out to India now, and you know what, they do excellent work for less money.

Foreign exchange students are not the problem, not pushing American kids into math and science is. We want to global economy to push forward with innovative technology, whether that innovation comes from China or India shouldn't matter. But a good deal of it needs to continue to come from the US.
