Our spoiled children

Every time Lord Kadizzle meets a young person from abroad the thought hits him "How can American kids compete". Compared to foreign students our children are so lazy and far behind it is amazing the U.S. still has a place in the world. Most of the young American kids I know are off on a lark. They have graduated from high school and are going to spend a couple years surfing or learning to play the guitar while they work as a waiter. When you ask so many American kids what they are going to do the first reply is be a star athlete. We had five boys that lived next to us and everyone of them was going to be a champion hocky player. I know at least five kids who had athletic careers fizzle out on them quickly. While they are learning to be champions they study sports massage in college or some other useless skill. Meanwhile the foriegn students are studing engineering, science, and math. Our school system is hopelessly behind, and our kids have no concept of what it is to study and concentrate. I was a terrible student. Somehow I made it, but I was not competing for a job with someone from India, Turkey, or some other country where people study and learn, thank god or I would have starved. Without exception every foreign student I meet speaks at least two languages. Most of them speak and write better English than the kids in our local high school.
