<p>Hah hah very funny but a bit myopic xiggi?</p>
<p>For fun, it would be interesting to know what percentage of these gosh-darned 'ferreners' are taking Math and Science degrees. I imagine the numbers could be as high as 70%?</p>
<p>My friends who teach science at top universities would NEVER give up their international students because those students arrive with superior secondary school educations which makes them better scientists right off the bat. Bottom line? Our universities NEED their talent. The best and brightest American students are not pursuing science and math degrees--as a rule--not counting marite's s and other CC kids. Why not? Not enough pay? That's another thread.</p>
<p>As for sending research scientists with thick accents to lteach ower income kiddies...hmmmmm. Not going to happen. Besides, what is it that you are implying? That these greedy ferriners don't give back? Are you certain of that?</p>
<p>Clearly, the government and the universities decided that sposoring the American education of very bright foreign students is a good investment. Looking over the history of American scientific advancements, I tend to agree.</p>
