Two comments about the film:
Timothy Draper, Founder of Draper Fisher Juvetson venture-capital firm: "America is the one country in the world that doesn't seem to realize it is in competition for the great minds and the capital of the world."
Vivek Wadhwa, Executive-in-Residence, Duke University, and an immigrant from India: "You've got to realize that in India and China...higher education �" becoming an engineer, becoming a scientist �" is a passport out of poverty.... What the film didn't show you was the level of maturity and experience you have when you come out of school. India and China are a lot more rigorous, but America's students have extensive life experience and can innovate."

The only problem I have with this would be the idea that all children in the US are going through school. In other countries school is not always required and the less educated children don't go. That means we are comparing only the highest educated children in other countries to ALL of the children in the US.
Just something to think about.

The outcomes of early childhood education will also make a tremendous difference in what happens during the four years of high school.
We have the challenge of ensuring that kindergarteners are not already "burnt out" on education because of developmentally inappropriate practice.
To be sure there are other factors that are involved in a student's success, but first, let us teachers of the very young consider that we are gatekeepers--ensuring that a child's natural love of learning is respected, encouraged and thereby preserved.
