Harvard Recruits College Students... in China
This means NO WAR with CHINA, right? Right?
"Colleges scour China for top students; A star search that may affect US applicants" by Tracy Jan, Globe Staff | November 9, 2008
BEIJING - .... Eager to cultivate generations of students in this new frontier, admissions officers from premier American universities are scouring China to recruit top high school students.... even promising full scholarships.
Yeah, the only ones who can't get those are American kids.
"There are no quotas, no limits on the number of Chinese students we might take," William Fitzsimmons, Harvard's admissions dean, told a standing-room-only crowd of more than 300 students during a visit to Beijing No. 4 High School. "We know there are very good students from China not applying now. I hope to get them into the pool to compete."
That message is disconcerting for American students toiling to land a coveted spot in Harvard's 1,660-student freshman class - and controversial among some educators. But Fitzsimmons and others say they had better get used to the idea. Applications from China have exploded in recent years as the Communist country opens up to the world, and they're only going to increase.
Look, it is not like I want to hold the Chinese or anyone back; however, this shows you the globalist nature of the rulers right here. They are interested in indoctrinating people who they can then send back as rulers or bureaucrats for their New World Order.
Even fifth-graders in Wellesley, Newton, and Brookline, who as adults will face international competition for jobs, should begin beefing up their academic résumés if they want a shot at an Ivy League education, Fitzsimmons said. "We're trying to send a message to young people, as young as primary school, to make the most of their studies," he said, "because they'll be competing with students around the world later on."
Then how come our schools are being gutted and teach such s***?
The competition served as a vivid reminder of how the global economy is hitting college admissions, much like it's hitting US corporations..... While he supports international admissions, Harry Lewis, a computer science professor, worries that Harvard is making it harder for American students to get in. "There's a real tension here," said Lewis, former dean of Harvard College who sits on the admissions committee. "We get tax exemptions not so we can help build the economy of China, but so we can help contribute to the economy of the United States." That being said, Lewis acknowledged that "we're not alarmed enough in this country about the lack of interest and motivation we're giving to math education here."
And on top of that, we teach them lies. Did I mention I was a history major?
Am I bitter about it? Yeah. Costs me a lot of money for a worthless piece of paper.
The rest of the article focuses on the Chinese and how great this is -- which is exactly what I would expect from an agenda-pushing War Daily.
