I am starting to disagree with what I an also starting to call “The Religion of STEM”. I say this as a card-carrying believer. And yet, I am starting to leave yet one more religion behind in favor of what I think is truly lacking with our approach to education: Entrepreneurship, business, personal finances and multiple servings of critical reasoning. And more... Kids, after thirteen years of schooling, are handed to society with virtually no marketable skills whatsoever. Zero. The only two paths they have are: -College -Stacking boxes at Office Depot (or making coffee, etc) Knowing how to code, I hate to say, is the last thing most people need in life. It is, without a doubt, a useless skill for the vast majority of HS graduates. What we should be teaching, we do not. They need to learn all of the above as well as walk out of school with one or more marketable skills. Love STEM. I even mentor a local HS robotics team. We need to do more. Education is broken.
