18. "The workforce of 2020 is being prepared now."
SoCal. I get your point, and I largely agree. But I think there is an additional problem -- that of thinking of education as "workforce training." I think that an equal threat exists in not educating our kids about being good citizens.

Music, Art, Civics, and History are being sacrificed on the alter of job-preparedness. The result is a citizenry that has little understanding of the rights and responsibilities of being an American citizen.
