    Default A sign of things to come?

    World to U.S. B-Schools: Thanks, but No Thanks

    International students, worried about future job prospects, are turning down elite U.S. business schools in favor of MBA programs in their home countries. and legal foreigners is what keeps the blood of this country fresh and the continual addition of new innovative ideas.

    http://www.businessweek.com/bschools...s+%2B+analysis

    Obviously, by the remarks in the article, foreign students don't see a friendly business climate in the US for at least 4 years. At first blush, this sounds good, because more US kids will get a crack at B School, but we all know that our kids can't read or write, and continually drop in smarts when compared to the worlds kids.

    So will our future business leaders, performance rise to the level of mediocrity, we are so willing to accept in our Pols? I think so, as more people realize that the incentives aren't there anymore to perform and Congress can change the rules in midstream is they get caught with a case of the stupids again.

    Oh, some of our kids will perform, mainly kids like ours, and that will put them a big leg up on the continually rising population of the unproductive, but this leg up depends on us remaining a capitalist society and not turning into a socialistic one, where outperformance will either get you hammered back down or they'll just take so much of your money, you'll eventually just say "What the Heck".

    Most folks can't see what the future may hold and what the ramifications of today will effect the future. I think we'll come out of it, but then I also see bloodshed as predicted by Thomas Jefferson.

    Perhaps these business schools will start taking the illegals? We the tax payer will pay for it of course.............



    This is only one State................If this doesn't open your eyes nothing will !

    From the L. A. Times


    1. 40% of all workers in L. A. County ( L. A. County has 10.2 million people)are working for cash and not paying taxes. This is because they are predominantly illegal immigrants working without a green card.


    2. 95% of warrants for murder in Los Angeles are for illegal aliens.


    3. 75% of people on the most wanted list in Los Angeles are illegal aliens.


    4. Over 2/3 of all births in Los Angeles County are to illegal alien Mexicans on Medi-Cal , whose births were paid for by taxpayers.


    5. Nearly 35% of all inmates in California detention centers are Mexican nationals here illegally


    6. Over 300,000 illegal aliens in Los Angeles County are living in garages..


    7. The FBI reports half of all gang members in Los Angeles are most likely illegal aliens from south of the border.


    8. Nearly 60% of all occupants of HUD properties are illegal.


    9. 21 radio stations in L. A. are Spanish speaking.


    10. In L. A. County 5.1 million people speak English, 3.9 million speak Spanish.
    (There are 10.2 million people in L. A.. County )

    (All 10 of the above are from the Los Angeles Times)

    Also, large numbers of deadly Mexican gangs live in San Diego, and now more have moved north into Los Angeles!!! They have already created havoc in their own country of Mexico, and we're next!!!

    Less than 2% of illegal aliens are picking our crops, but 29% are on welfare. Over 70% of the United States ' annual population growth (and over 90% of California , Florida , and New York ) results from immigration. 29% of inmates in federal prisons are illegal aliens.

    We are a bunch of fools for letting this continue

    As a plus, that means fewer education visas. Right?

    Forget about our kids being educated for B-school. I'm worried about the lack of emphasis on basic math and science thats being embraced in schools these days. I tutor twice a week at a local high school in math and science. It is depressing what is acceptable to these kids.

    One senior was working s worksheet with the problem 72+72=? and got it wrong. Another showed me a graded algebra test where the student was given full credit on a problem for getting it close. It was actually marked "close" on the test. Calculus isn't even taught in the school anymore.

    I understand that not everyone is a math or science person. I get that. But there has to be a bar that sets the standard for students to pass or fail. And right now there is no bar. It's sad.

    ChemEng,

    I'm glad to see you are finally getting it - I knew it would happen once that family started growing. I'll be patiently waiting for you to be reborn as a conservative - I know that will happen also.
