Education In The United States

I know it has been sometime since my last blog, however I have recently enrolled to pursue my Masters of Business Administration (MBA) degree. In this endeavor I plan to not only launch my Consulting business full time, but also continue as an adjunct educator. I leave you with this one important thought, why do people in the United States feel so entitled? Why do our children here in the U.S. not want to work hard at education? Is it because of the No child left behind ACT? Hey, leave them behind!! If you look at children overseas that walk 10 miles to school bare foot uphill to and from school, and are able to obtain the highest of grades even with their adversities. Why is it so hard for little Timmy, that lives in a big house, with every toy, game made for man at his feet, not able to say all the Cities in the United States. Or for that matter know where Asia is on the map. The point that I am trying to get across is that learning does not stop after potty training. Our learning must continue throughout our entire lives!! So when you say, “I am tired, why should I study for this class”, or “what do I need algebra for” STOP and think about those who don’t have a home and live on the street and very excited to be able to have a school to attend. Remember, Knowledge is power, however knowledge is not given you must earn it.
