But in the US, many High School grads need to be re-taught some basic high-school level courses as freshmen.

Which pales in comparison to the English education immigrants need but never receive.

So people can travel half the world and fill all the paperwork to immigrate to the US but somehow then can't register to a language class? At some point we should stop blaming society for laziness of individuals. It never has been that easy to learn languages (esp. English) and for free thanks to the internet.

Immigrant founders or other highly skilled tech workers I've been around who speak English as a second language have, for the most part, had excellent English skills.
