Change is a constant. Education is now the passport upward. The nature of home life is also undergoing change. Women and men are now equal partners in the workforce and at home. Not only is technology changing the nature of work, it is changing the way we pay our bills, correspond with friends, purchase goods and services, and engage in recreation.
Education is now a prerequisite for managing the stresses of home life.
In response, collaboration has become the watchword in public education. We are learning there is much to be gained when schools and business, industry, labor, and community agencies get together for the benefit of all children. It is no longer acceptable for the organizations and enterprises that make up our communities to operate entirely in their own separate spheres. The world is moving too rapidly and becoming too complex. A high quality school system is essential to the economic and cultural health of any community.
