Report: Iranian Science Teachers May Be Enriching Students

"'We have reason to believe that specially trained Iranian science teachers are taking raw, unrefined brain power and bombarding it with knowledge at accelerated levels,' said U.S. Undersecretary Of Defense For Intelligence Stephen Cambone at a Tuesday press conference, according to this report from The Onion (Report: Iranian Science Teachers May Be Enriching Students). 'If current levels of student concentration remain this high, Iran could be a mere five to eight years away from developing an atomic scientist.'"

Maybe this is what's really behind the recent spate of school reform proposals focused on internatonal competitiveness.
