>I think we’ll find some public support for building a science-based, engineering-based curriculum into the public schools. That's what the yachtsmen thought in the 1960's when enough of them retired early enough from Wall Street to still have school-age children. After they moved there and found out the schools were way backwards compared to places like south Alabama at the time. That was in Broward, where people & companies have long gone to retire not much differently than Dade. And so Nova was born. Nothing like today's remains, the original Nova will never be duplicated, was much more unlikely for a student to be accepted for admittance to public High School than some of the most exclusive universities like MIT or Stanford. Remember the traditional purpose of most South Florida companies is to fund a retirement lifestyle, not create wealth through value-added activities. Magic Leap being a modern example. South Florida is not found on the Gulf coast at all, and is nothing like the 50 states from Orlando on up. You're supposed to have money before you go there. You don't ask people what they do for a living, that would be rude. There's not very many significant sources of legitimate income compared to regular places.
