Hi Everybody,
I found this article on www.theatlantic.com and it's from the thoughts of Bill Gates and how he feels that the United States' education system is failing to produce highly skilled workers that the economy needs.
I figured this related to our Metro's election results on education because most of students voted that educational priority should be expanding financial aid for college students and double the number of federally-funded work-study jobs over the next 5 years. But do they know why? Did they know that the U.S. economy has a strong demand for highly skilled workers? I think our peers supported this position the most because it makes a lot more sense to them. I think that they believe expanding financial aid will help them and their families afford college.One of the main reasons jobs higher people is because they've received higher education.They meet that qualification and have been exposed to those skills that employers look for.
This affects Metro students because most of us plan on going to college, most of us are informed about this issue to the extent that college opens many doors in the future for jobs and careers and that college cost a lot. Also, that the government is apart of what helps us get loans for school. I don't think metro students have enough knowledge. Especially on some of the things in the article above because we're not fully exposed to them just like how we're taught to write a essay or how to analysis text.
