One of my buddies’ daughter in Canada just got rejected by Harvard, Yale and Princeton. Good luck to all young Chinese Americans. Their abilities to ”put food on the table” look more and more like “can’t afford to put food on the table”.
Between high costs, anti-science, anti-intellectual dogma and persecution Chinese students/researchers, the state of education in the US isn't on a good trajectory. Signs such as dropping enrollment and financial pressure on colleges - enough so that 91 small colleges essentially shut down in the last 6 years (with the trend is only getting worse):
Not to mention math and reading scores of teens are at multi decade lows:
What the New, Low Test Scores for 13-Year-Olds Say About U.S. Education Now
The math and reading performance of 13-year-olds in the United States has hit the lowest level in decades, according to test scores released today from the National Assessment of Educational Progress, the gold-standard federal exam.
It's a bit of a shame since education is the foundation of society.
