Publisher Description:
Take a moment to consider the educational system as a whole. The very system itself is fractured and broken and has been taken over by chaos; this includes the academically splintered cell in which your children are educated. The school board, principle, vice principle and the teachers for the most part have arrived in the field of education due to their incapacity to make it in the real world. Look at this flawed reality in which your children are forced to populate. Your children are under the restriction and virtual imprisonment of this institutional mechanism for virtually half of their lives up to the age of 18. Have you ever investigated the aptitude of even one teacher who has regurgitated textbook ideologies and philosophical notions into your child's mind? Surely you've looked into their academic pedigree. No? How about that of their principle? If you're like most parents, you have no clue who the strangers rearing your children are and just assume they are experts in the field in which they teach. As a society, we've been conditioned to trust those the government deems 'worthy', no questions asked. The sad reality is it is highly unlikely that your child's teacher is an actual expert. Experts grace the upper echelon of their field of expertise and their pedigree is supported by published papers and books that dictate the current of their niche. In parent and teacher meetings, after your teen's history teacher pretentiously serves you a laundry list of your child's short comings, how do you respond? Have you considered changing the conversation to finding out what qualifies this 'instructor' to make such statements? What qualifies them to pick apart the way your child responds to the facts and fictions this teacher tosses about in the classroom. If they are an expert, surely they can ramble off a list of books and white papers they've authored to dictate the current of this field they claim as their domain. What research have they facilitated that has transformed the face of their niche subject? If they are like 99.9% of academics teaching grades 1 through 12, they have no publications to their name and are virtually nonexistent in the halls populated by niche genre experts. They are, for lack of a better term, wannabes. Our children are being taught and held hostage daily by automatons and imposters. That high school science teacher is not a scientist. He's a social misfit who couldn't cut it in the competitive scientific arena so he did exactly what others do when they are cast aside as industry rejects; he became a high school teacher. Yeah, sure, they'll tell you that they 'love' to teach and that it's their passion. They have simply come to grips with the reality that no one is going to hire them and they are more equipped to lecture to children who haven't the courage to debate them in the classroom. Expect more from your school district and demand quality. One pivotal aspect of a quality education is the district's attention to prepare teens with applicable skills. It's shocking how many teenagers graduate high school without the ability to balance a checkbook or apply philosophical thought to real world debates. There are two places your child will get the education that entails the true knowledge they will need in the real world, and school is not one of them. Home and curriculum like this book you are reading right now combined with real life experience will give your child the tools they need to succeed. In this book, your teen will learn how to present an idea to an audience of investors, the ins and outs of Botnets and basic network device security configurations, how to write a business plan that will yield results and much more. This book will give your child the tools and resources they will absolutely need but is ardently lacking in the school system. This series will ignite a level of confidence and willpower that you may not have seen in your child before.
