President Bush on called American school children to out perform those in India and China. Indian American children are performing ten times better than those in India and China. That is surely reassuring President Bush.

President George W Bush has warned the country's schoolchildren that if they did not have the skills needed to compete with their counterparts from India and China, new jobs would go to those countries.

The President was addressing a magnet school in Rockville, Maryland, on Tuesday, stressing among other things, the criticality of such subjects as Mathematics and Science.

Indian American school children have performed ten timeS or more better than top Indian and Chinese students.

"If you''re living in Midland, Texas, or living in Montgomery County, Maryland, it's important to understand, if children don''t have those skill sets needed to compete with a child from India or a child from China, the new jobs will be going there," Bush told the students. "And so, in order to make sure we remain the leader of the world, we have got to continue our focus in education on high standards, accountability, and a new focus and intense focus on math and science, just like as what's happening in this school," he said. Prior to Bush's speech, White House spokesman Scott McClellan elaborated on the ''American Competitiveness Initiative'' that was announced by the President. The initiative, he said, was "to make sure that we have an educated workforce with the skills needed to fill the high-paying, high-growth jobs of the 21st century."
