“Has our educational system adapted to the jobs market other than college? I don’t get it then.”
Our education system is a fraud. It is a waste of time for our children. If you have children, take over the math education. Buy IXL.com and make your child move through this program at about 150% of the rate your school is teaching. Most kids can handle this (I agree some can’t). You would like to finish calculus before high school starts. Then put your child in physics and computer courses. By junior year your child should start taking two math APs, a physics AP, and a computer science AP. Your child will write his own ticket getting into college. And frankly, he/she will be employable without going to college. Groupon will pay your child not to go to college and work for them.
