    I am an immigrant. Had learn English in city of Chicago schools. I quickly realized a lot of American kids had no interest in studying. My mother and father didn’t speak English, no education but were lucky to work in steady jobs. It was not easy, we were poor and my father drank from the stress. My point is I was able to get a scholarship based on my ATC scores, Go to college, move all over the country for different jobs. Sacrificing all of my twenties, and it was depressing. But now I have stability and I think American kids don’t understand how hard that is and they don’t even want to try. I don’t want to raise my kids in the USA because the kids here are just lazy and entitled and the whole culture is whack. And That’s just from my perspective moving here and growing up here. But my siblings all had kids when they were younger and their kids are in their teens/20s now and struggling. But they refuse to actually take any risk. They could actually study higher education in Europe for lower cost but they want to be with their parents at all times. Absolute cowards
