+ What’s Wrong Today?
Everyone has an opinion…
“American high schools are obsolete. By obsolete, I mean
that our high schools, even when they are working exactly
as designed, cannot teach our kids what they need to know
today. Training the workforce of tomorrow with high schools
of today is like trying to teach kids about today’s computers
on a 50-year-old mainframe. It’s the wrong tool for the
times.”

average, than those taking the same
course through traditional face-to-face
instruction.”
