The other thing that jumps out is the foreign student parents preference of more math and science and less history....IMO that is a good thing regardless of motivations to colonize from a foreign perspective we U.S. education brainwash our citizenry with leftist bias to atone for our evil past. Though I agree some history is important there is not another field IMO more open to interpretation, false conclusions, historical bias leading to biased narratives....history is not black and white data it is meant to be studied and interpreted and is being used today as a weapon against society with the lefts narratives in which justifies the means so blatant revisionism in their flavor gives rise to the emotionally self destructive belief that citizens are programmed not educated....IMO there is little pure truth in history but I agree with cutting back the social engineering aspect of education and getting to the useful non or lesser biased useful subjects. In many other countries they do not shove useless stuff down there throats as much as westerners do..thats a good thing.
I am of the opinion that math and science has far more uses the mastery of which would promote a more rational thinking process...I am speaking of long math where a person must go through the problem solving process to get to the answer

Agreed.
The enhanced focus on math/science in the shadow of Sputnik and the race to the moon was a huge net positive for the US.
