True true.
But do these mostly modern countries teach foreign languages because they're closely surrounded by foreign countries?

No, they teach foreign languages of the countries that are important to them for trade, tech etc...
Best bet that mandarin would be very important in 15yrs
And maybe Swahili with that
Estonia has always been able to experiment with cutting edge technology. They were one of the firsts to have wifi in most of their buses and trains. They basically have free wifi throughout the capitol city. It's definitely easy to get your "ayo technology" on over there for free where as many counties can't wait to charge u that nagging hot spot fee when your trying to surf the web.
Somewhere along the way, Americans just became brainwashed that everything is the responsibility of teachers and schools.

Too much group politics and not enough emphasis on what is taking place externally.
America is losing it's tech edge and fast.
My goal is to get as much people on the train!

It starts and ends at home. We have the kids for 6 hrs. The parents and community play a huge role as to whether that 6 hours is beneficial to the child or not.

cuz English is the dominant language in the world sir. Nor did I say NOT to teach foreign language. If you want to take one, it should be available, NOT mandatory.Most modern countries teach foreign language classes, particularity English.
That message is not being spread enough -- especially in the inner-city where it is needed the most. Parents need to be taking time to read to their kids, help them with homework, and show their kids education is the priority. Instead, they wait for others to do it for them.
Meanwhile, more and more white parents are turning to homeschooling and having their kids in college full-time at 16.
We better wake up and start making education a priority at home. Parents can go through code academy with their children instead of watching BET or the stories.

The problem is not the message.
Everyone knows what you are saying.
Some parents in the situation you are describing don't have the time or money, that's a reality.
Now we need the after school programs etc to bridge the gaps
This is more important than you know.

And to fluency at that. Our foreign languages are many times taught by people who don't speak the language themselves. Education in America is such a fucking joke.
As for our children, we need for them to be taught the following from age 5 to 12
-mathematics up to algebra
-reading comprehension
-american literature
-african literature
-science (biology, chemistry, sociology)
-world history, american history, carribean history, black history, european history
-a choice of spanish/french or arabic/mandarin
-mandatory african language (yoruba, twi, wolof, swahili)
-economics
-computer tech
-programming
-music
-arts
-phys ed (basketball, tennis, soccer, martial arts)
Add more if you can...

kayanation, now I just got finished dropping knowledge on my fb wall about the black girls programming and now this.
Ninja, let me catch my breath!
I did not know about this specifically, but I have an infrograph I wish I could find of all the countries that are more internet flush than America...it's not pretty with some of the countries on that list having a better technological structure than we, and we charge twice and three times as much.

Sometimes I think Americans forget that we are competing globally.
Fuck the perspective that we are all fighting for a slice of a reducing pie.
We need to be externally focussed and stop the internal bull.
I want to eventually build synergy between African Americans and other Africans both in the diaspora and the continent in tech.
kaya, I'm with you. Africans that live everywhere except Africa need to link up with continental Africans and STOP FRONTIN'.
Ain't no need of us looking at each other better or worse than, when all whites see us the same.
You might as well get connected instead of bickering.
That fist video, along with the music and voice, made the video doubly disgusting.
The second one, I would need to see the whole thing on the psycho persuasion and what not, but none of it surprises me...none of it.

Marcus Garvey gave us the template.
We just have to follow through.
Check this out:
Google have launched their Umbono project aimed at incubating African Tech entrepreneurs in Cape Town; taking them from early phase start-ups to bankable businesses.
The Umbono programme will help your vision into a business. Your idea – probably web or mobile deployed – is exciting on many levels: for your future users, potential investors and for the people on your team building it.
The Programme
The 6-month programme provides enough time for your team to get your idea formally off the ground or to prepare your existing business for its next round of funding. By the end of the programme, you’ll be pitch-ready and have a business plan in place.
Seed Capital: Teams should expect to receive a minimum of $25,000 and a maximum of $50,000. Capital from Angel investors will be exchanged for equity (10%) and will be governed by standard terms of investment
The Space: we provide the furnished office space and bandwidth for the duration of the programme. This is a collaborative space for all teams in the programme, providing a forum for mutual support, idea sharing and tech talks.
Business Skills Training: Umbono Teams will have access to the Bandwidth Barn's VeloCITI programme, which covers all business topics relevant to an emerging business, from business model definition to market segmentation and pricing strategies.
The Mentor Base: For the duration of the Umbono Programme, teams will have regular access to Google’s extensive network of business and technology experts, many of whom are Googlers. In addition to that, each team will be paired with a Google Power Mentor, someone from our Product Management team for hands-on guidance.
Visibility: All great stories need a platform for advertising their success. Association with the Umbono brand and resulting awareness at our networking events, blog posts, and press releases will provide Teams with reach to additional funding.

I swear to all that's good in this world that if I wanted to have a kid that I'd work my self to near death conditions to have him getting educated overseas as so he/she would be able to compete.
Not true. Public education been cut to death. Educational system dysfunctional, being privatized piece meal. So more educational corporations cashing in. This situation planned by those who view public education as an entitlement & a corporate cash cow for the private sector. they create a crisis then propose solutions that allow them to cash in. no child left behind was bullshit, like help america vote act. Cloak & dagger shit. Its the shock doctrine in the educational arena. Blaming students, parents, teachers is not just wrong, but its blind.
