I have to agree that relatively, this is not a big problem.

Relative to what? These are the kids who are going to make all the major medical discoveries of the next generation. If you want to be happy and healthy at age 80, you should be worried that this county turns out fewer and fewer top math and science students, particularly when the country's visa laws prevent us from importing many new ones. If you care about national security issues, you should worry about the fact that major defense contractors can't find nearly enough qualified American citizens to replace the ones who are retiring as the baby boomers age.

It's a huge problem, and I'm curious to understand why you think it isn't. These top students are the ones who are going to do do almost all the economic and scientific heavily lifting of the next generation - helping them helps everyone. Technology now allows the efforts of the few to be leveraged to the benefit of the many more than ever before. We have a clear identification of a population that contains most of this 'few'. Why do we ignore them?
