Microsoft, Code.org: Education System to Blame for IT Jobs Going to H-1B Workers

The cynic in me is inclined to point to those numerous Facebook posts of some parent (who curiously is always either an engineer, scientist of some sort or a teacher themselves) frustrated with the horrible and terrifying and objectively un-American Common Core homework as it proves too hard for even them because they were taught differently.

Again. Admittedly cynical and probably oversimplified reduction of numerous possible answers to the inquiry, but it's maddening on a stunning level.
