San Jose schools are not very good.
Sunnyvale, Cupertino schools are lot better (Also Indian % is much higher)
Sunnyvale has 10%+ Indian population, Cupertino is 12.5% or so and Fremont is 12.9% Indian.
I believe Edison, NJ is almost 20% Indian. Anyone have stats on schools there. We want Indians of poorer backgrounds to immigrate to the U.S. in large #'s (like Mexicans)

In some schools in San Jose, California
there are 2 sets of Indian students
Those descended from techies and upper middle class
and others
In subjects like chemistry,
the Indian teacher, a Mrs.Biswas, is shocked that some Indian students fail chemistry
It is a very disjointed bell curve
The kids of techies score A, the kids of others score F
