Canada does have an issue with brain drain. It's kinda funny how the US has awful K-12 education but world-class university and post-grad opportunities, so immigrants come here once they're almost ready to be productive.
H-1B and other immigration paths make sense if the goal is to collect the most tax money. But the country has to (at least somewhat) work by the will of its people. Even many immigrants who have gained citizenship are opposed to easing the immigration policy.
- slt2021 3y ago>US has awful K-12 education US has awful public K-12 in most of School Districts. Private schools are very good, but cost just as much as college. What I understand is that anything good in America costs $$$$. And all the free stuff is the same quality as a free couch on a sidewalk

- slt2021 3y agoyeah and your kids can be shot to death at any public school in the US
- hot_gril 3y agoI did go to a private high school that had better security, but that required driving further, which probably more than negated the safety benefits.
- midoridensha 3y agoYes, I think that was the point of that comment.
- hot_gril 3y agoYeah, I'm thinking of private schools too, but not many people go to them. Otherwise I would say the education is decent. End of the day, average American graduating grade 12 probably didn't get much. Everyone I know from other countries loves the US except for the K-12 public education. There are (or were?) second or third world countries where private is the majority and only really poor people go to public.
- anon291 3y agoThe US K-12 system is great. Unfortunately, the students and parents are not.
