The basic purpose of my blog is to educate anyone who cares to know about the telecommunication network. My ebook (see the Telecom Network Ebook tab) explains basic network structure. My specialty is what is known in the industry as Outside Plant.
I have heard several times from various sources, including managers at AT&T, that employers prefer to hire persons with college degrees not because that degree would give the new employee the data they need to do the job but that the employer can feel confident that his new employee is trainable. That alone is a sad testimonial for our educational system. The completion of high school should accomplish that.
In looking into the educational process, I encountered a Utube video that exposes some shocking truths about the general educational system forwarded by the United States government. I invite you to watch this video and see if it explains the reason for the downfall of our education in general.

I agree that much of our public educational system needs a major adjustment for our youth to not only compete for jobs but to be contributing members of their communities. I suggest watching "Waiting for Superman" which shows some of the horrors and hopes for the American educational system.
It seems that if we don't work for a better public school system, we will have the poor resigned to a poor education and the rest in charter/parochial schools. Then we will not only waste potentially good minds but will have segregated our schools again.
