Hi David, RE: "we need to go to India to find competent teachers for k12 math???" Yes, the facts do show that K12 math is better in India than USA. Fortunately, our Universities are better (thank goodness.) Because they are competition based, unlike K12. RE: "Does it not occur to you that there are plenty of good math teachers, right here in the USA, if you can simply get rid of the classroom teachers unions, which chronically fights the competency testing of our teachers?" That's a valid point and one I agree with. Thank you for pointing it out. It needs to be competitive based, like Univerisites are. Otherwise, we end up offshoring because the supply isn't sufficient during booms. RE: "Importing k12 math teachers from India has to be one of the most bizarre and ridiculous suggestions I've heard." Why? Their K12 math is better than ours. Regards, Amy J
