We need to prepare our kids for a 21st Century economy, and we're not doing it with our schools.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The success of our economy shouldn't determine the success of our schools.
Kids need to be equipped for that. They need to learn to use that technology to keep the new economy going.
Our education system is not preparing young people for the world they will face.
Also, if we take back our schools and concentrate on improving them so our children get a better education, they will be better trained to compete for a job locally.
It's not enough to train today's workforce. We also have to prepare tomorrow's workforce by guaranteeing every child access to a world-class education.
Although children are only 24 percent of the population, they're 100 percent of our future and we cannot afford to provide any child with a substandard education.
Keeping our kids engaged and in school must become a national priority.
You can't have a sustainable US economy without a great education system. Teach students to do the job right. You don't have an innovative economy unless you have a great education.
We are now at a point where we must educate our children in what no one knew yesterday, and prepare our schools for what no one knows yet.
We can't afford not to fully fund education.
