To the High-Tech Employers: Sorry About Those Missing Skills
From Kim Cavanaugh’s Brain Frieze, this letter to high-tech employers is great.
Tell you what. How about you start working on products that will be made possible with workers who have spent most of their time in school getting ready for standardized tests? For instance, our kids can really crank out 5 paragraph sentences (Introduction, 3 Supporting Paragraphs, Conclusion) and if you could just come up with a product that took advantage of that skill then you’d have no shortage of workers. I’m not sure what that product would be, but the kids are ready, let me tell you. And we have the grades to prove it.
