Bobby,
You are right about the attitude of too many teachers-they don't care about the kids who are not going to college and even some of those who are. Of course your son Franklin is becoming an endangered species-someone who did graduate work in engineering who is not an immigrant or the child of an immigrant. Funny how the only other kid I know who has done that is the son of a drag racer too.
America needs immigrants to do things that Americans consider too dirty or too hard, like picking fruit, cleaning hotel rooms, studying math, studying physics, and studying engineering.
