The Problem With Today’s Education System
I’d like to submit to you that in today’s world, the competition is greater than ever before and those who succeed, those who truly stand out in our generation are going to be those with these principles, strategies and tools… The people with the greatest level of accomplishment are going to be you, because you showed up, when the opportunity arose, you took action, and I really want to honor and acknowledge you for that. With that said, the stakes are higher than ever before. We have a great responsibility on our shoulders.
As we embark on this journey together we’ll briefly discuss the many issues facing our nation and our world and the truth is, it is our generation who will face the true challenges of the world, and unless we prepare ourselves to address those challenges… Unless we have the tools and strategies we need to address these problems… we will face a time of enormous devastation, and tremendous hardship throughout the world. Its up to us! As leaders, you and I must step up to a level previously unheard of.
In the United States, we have over 1 million high school drop-outs per year! Our education system is ranked 21st out of 27 industrialized countries. And we are the only country who has not raised our graduation rankings in the past five years. Now more than ever, teenagers need the tools, strategies, and principles we’ll begin discussing in a moment because our school systems just aren’t cutting it! You see the education hasn’t changed in centuries…
Our history classes might be teaching the events of the past few centuries but the way we are taught to enter into the “real world” as our teachers so often call it hasn’t shifted to meet the needs of our world’s demands. We are now amongst some of the greatest economic turmoil in the history of the United States and our education is continuing to fail in providing us with the knowledge and skills we need to deal effectively with the problems of our times. So that’s why I’m here… Our current education system in the United States prepares you for college, I’m here to prepare you for life…
Ensure your teen’s success…
