You may be smart enough to educate your kids, but obviously the numbers indicate that a lot of people are not. How do we fix that problem? The conservative method seems to be to pretend that it does not exist.
European engineers invented the internal combustion engine - does that mean you don't use them because they were not invented here? 
I prefer to think that one of the reasons this country does so well is that we can recognise and utilise all the best stuff from whatever source. Other countries are having better results that we are, so learning from their methods would be in our best interests.

"Pretend it doesn't exist" this seems to be the misdirection of the left on a number of issues. The left makes this accusation on any issue when the conservative doesn't want government involvement, so with the worldview of the left if we don't want the government involved it must be that we are in a state of ignorance or denial.
I have no objection to learning better methods no matter the country of origin, I do have a problem adopting a value system that replacez ours. The left lovez European valuez, I agree with Tocqueville, and believe in American Exceptionalizm, the Left for whatever reazon doezn't share that belief
