Thank you for this article, the content of which is much needed by the West. It reminds me of an article of a decade ago wherein a Saudi man bought an East Indian girl from her parents. She burst into tears at the Mumbai airport and was subsequently detained by authorities and thus separated from her captors/purchasers. The article noted that some families are so poor that their children become chattel. Deeply sad.

The Obama plan to move student loan programs to the public sector will help reduce costs for students enrolled in the private remote learning institutions. As well, the DoD has excellent foreign language software that could be transferred to the public as freeware to further reduce costs to students.
