How reflective it is of today's society that we would think that school is something we create to serve our needs, rather than (say) where we offer our wisdom and experience to our children so that they may make the best use of it they can to lead fulfilling and rewarding lives. But no. We read here, "Are students leaving school with the skills and dispositions employers desiderate?" For example, " our subcommittee, representing the "travel and hospitality" field, reviewed current course offerings conducive to preparing students with interests in hotel management, event planning, and tourism." And we read, "it's important to bring many voices to the table if schools are to fulfill a purpose of serving their respective communities." If the success of our schools depends on our success in predicting the future, then our children are in trouble.
