total nonsense. this is not the fault of the US education system. that same education system created the engineers which developed the telecommunications and internet revolutions in the late 90s. what happened, everyone "got dumb" in the last 5 years?
this is corporate greed, pure and simple, and a political class that has been bought off to allow it under the banner of "free trade".
A good part of those engineers were H1-bs. Americans aren't dumber, just less interested in studying tech. When I went to engineering school, over half the class was foreigners.

Right on Oceanview!! American workers are the most productive and innovative in the whole world...except at competing for 88 cent per hours jobs.
Pointer - What did PM Blair say yesterday ... something about an Indian and Chinese threat from where .... ?
Welcome to Globalization ... !!!
The chief engineers, inventors, scientists and entrepreneurs that created Americas greatness come from the top 5% of the population
The educational system is no longer interested in educating the top 5% to their full potential. They only care about making their quotas on "No Child Left Behind". They get hit if the bottom students do not make minimum standards. they get no extra goodies if the top 5% are educated beyond the average
It's the main reason I homeschool
We were warned about free trade long ago. Only a few listened.
