Surviving Or Thriving in Public Education by Starla Carr,Ambassador L. F. Craig with co-author Starla Carr Pdf

How far we think we have come just to discover that we have been walking around in circles. As I often say, " same suit just a different color.' Carter G. Woodson released the book title "THE MIS-EDUCATION OF THE NEGRO" IN 1933. Here we are in 2019 and the same mis-education is going on. It is becoming the focus that we have mislead our people with the mindset of "Go to school, graduate, go to college and graduate then get a good job." Many come out of college with a bucket full of debt and unable to get hired because the employers want education and work experience. But the employers do not want to pay you your worth as you were lead to believe you would be after getting your degrees. Educated remains under outside control. teachers in the classroom has little to no power over their curriculum and all teaching is cookie cutting even when they call it differential. They took the vocational courses that lead to careers out of high school so we continue to fail to teach our children how to make a living and be economically independent. We teach and encourage employment instead of deployment through service and ownership. Why go to school? What you want to be when you finish? Are you just surviving or have you decided to thrive with the utilization of a free public education to start off your journey to full potential.
