In today's world, it feels like a lot is going wrong. From the never-ending increase in taxes - think sales tax, property tax, income tax at both state and federal levels, to businesses being taxed on their earnings, and even Social Security getting a piece of the action. It's a lot. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. Health care costs are skyrocketing, real estate prices are climbing higher, and the value of our dollar keeps dropping. It's like everything's designed to make life harder.
And then, there's the world of ads and consumerism. Big names like McDonald's and Coca-Cola popping up in places like the Olympics? It all points to a trend where quality seems to be taking a back seat, and it's not hard to see this trend seeping into the education system too.
It's no secret that the education system in the United States seems to be lagging. While there's still some outstanding research and work happening in universities, it's a different story for middle and high school students. They're not keeping up. But let's get one thing straight: it's not the teachers' or even the school districts' fault. The real issue lies with the higher-ups, the decision-makers who haven't caught up with the rapid growth of technology and its role in society today. They're stuck on an outdated view of what education should be, rather than adapting to what it actually needs to be in our modern world.
That's exactly why Starter School was born. We saw the huge gap in technological education and decided it was time to do something about it. The old-school approach of pushing more kids towards trades isn't the only answer. Nor is sticking to the traditional curriculum of English, math, reading, history, and science enough. Don't get me wrong, those are important, but they're not the whole picture anymore.
At Starter School, we're taking a different path. We're not just teaching kids how to type or code (though those are part of it). We're diving into a wide range of computer-based subjects to give our students the skills they need for today's job market. The goal? To ensure that when they graduate high school, they have real, quality job prospects waiting for them - without necessarily having to go through college. We're talking about setting them up for success in a world where the only job options won't just be fast food, grocery stores, or cashier positions.
It's all about adapting to the changing landscape. With everything from the economy to consumer goods going through major shifts, it's high time our education system caught up. Technology is a huge part of our daily lives, and it's crucial that we integrate it into learning in a way that prepares kids for the future.
