Perhaps if our schools were not overcrowded with the children of illegal foreign workers. There might be a marked difference in American children's educational grades. When teachers are forced to give more attention to children who have little or no English skills, then no wonder our academic standards have descended to a new low? Predator employers are to blame for this mass of illegal humanity, who have wreaked havoc with American workers jobs. They have brought this educational pestilence on themselves in the name of greed and more wealth.

It all comes down to more H-IB visas
When reading through Bill Gates's comments directly from this transcript of his talk to congress, the cynic might say that it all comes down to wanting more H-1B visas.
Are you high school drop
Are you high school drop out?
H1-B
No one wants to go into IT. Billy and foreign cheap labor have driven down the salary ranges to where no want wants the education.
Bill has made the IT job a joke. A young person is better off getting their class "A" drivers license or learning to install plumbing.
Dear Bill:
No one wants to pay for 4 plus years of college to get a job that pays so little that they can't even afford to buy a house.
Oh, I forgot they are supposed to live in one room apartments for 4 years and then take the money and move to a 3rd world country.
I here patriotism but see greed running a muck. Stop paying off congressmen and maybe they wouldn't even want to hear from you in the hearings. Maybe just maybe they would care about the people who elected them, the quality of wages and the cost of living that is destroying our country. Oops, except for a few who are so wealthy they can buy a congressman like the rest of us buy a television.
A congressman if they figure the percentage of your wealth that is spent to buy them should be insulted. I figure they are worth about 2 cents.
I wish I could buy a whore for that price... unfortunately they make more than IT people do thanks to the greed of some people and corporations.
Gee does the H1-B program have a bad name? Is there a reason why? Are people blowing smoke up the skirts of their Wh ... I mean congress person.
Incentives Equals Taxes
I have a bit of a problem with "4. Providing incentives for private-sector R&D, so that American businesses remain at the forefront in developing new technologies and turning them into new products and services." Such incentives already exist. They are called "profits." The only way for government to provide incentives is to use tax revenues. If American business has come to the point that it has to use my taxes to pay for its R&D, then the capitalist system is in great danger indeed. I'll tell you what, Bill, you tell me the nature of the R&D in which you propose to invest my taxes, including your projections as to the rate of return I can expect if the effort is successful, and I will let you know whether you can have the funds. Otherwise I suggest that American business pony up its own R&D funding, thereby keeping the incentive to R&D an area that is likely to earn that money (+ profit) back.
