But I'm not an educator. So I am not going to offer suggestions as to how to teach. Professional educators know far better than I how to do this. However, in my opinion as a business person, we need to find more resources so we can do a better job of preparing our young people to succeed in the twenty-first century. On the surface it may not look too bad.
Business generally finds that many of today's graduates lack adequate skills.
We need graduates who possess better skills or businesses will be forced to do extensive retraining. Otherwise, these folks will simply gravitate to low-paying jobs. And that would be unfortunate. The causes of these deficiencies are numerous, but some appear more central than others. Many parents have not been as supportive and involved in educating their children as they might.
