Struggling town looks to Chinese for help / Maine recruits Chinese students??

that looks like just about every town in Maine

i love Maine

It's because there will be a war here soon on these shores against them and the ruskies.

Maine is very quaint- all American looking little towns...

like a picture book. Laws are awfully tight though and taxes are high there aren't they?

Jesus Christ! $27,000 they want to charge a chinese student to attend one year.

China has much better education for their student than the US.

Seems to me they could bring their own and pay for their own education ( since they are higher rated than our schools). Its the other money that comes with them- if they come. Money and families ?



So, whats the deal ? if its not our fabulous education system and everlasting economy - what is the prize ?

Go to the USA for an 'education'?

And pay top dollar for it?

Hahahahaha...

I wonder about the same thing. What is that "we do well"? Besides speaking better English maybe.

OK... where to start with this odd plan?

None of it makes sense to me, like the others I think they have a far better education system in China than we do so why would they want to send them here in the first place? Those that can afford 27,000 a year for education certainly aren't the average Chinese, most of them live in abject poverty.
So who exactly will be taking advantage of such an offer?

Lets say that there are some who would want to come and have the money to pay for it, there are still a LOT of questions that leap to mind.

The statement of "We need to learn what they do well, and they need to learn what we do well." , makes me question why a traditional foreign exchange program wouldn't provide that and a lot more? Are they hoping to have the Chinese students come here and not send our kids to China? Do we even have a student exchange program with China? I can understand a parents reluctance to send their child there, but think we would be better served to find some true common ground to build upon, and kids are great peacemakers so it leaves me wondering.

Will the students be coming alone? Or will their families be allowed in as well? Would they pay for that "privilege", or would it be "included" in the 27,000? Where would the students be housed and who pays for it if they come without family?

lol love dat

It is part of the NAFTA plan. Was reading about the North American Union today, they want to make sure students are sent to all the countrys for college. They are even giving them scholarships paid by you.

They want Mexicans up in Canada and in the USA, there seems to be a huge push with this. We are basically footing the bills for Mexico and the jobs are going there on purpose, so if you do not like them stealing your jobs here guess what? Our govt is making sure companies go to Mexico and hire them also. Double burn and it is all for the North American Union issues.

They have no plan to help USA students or workers that I saw in any of it, except maybe opening up a places where goods are dumped off, that is about it. You get to foot the bill for almost all of this to boot.

The reason why they think their town is fucked:




The idea to import Chinese students:



The interviews they did with the existing students:




One only needs to look at their own government policies on tariffs, education, and health care to see why America is now a third world country.
