Ken Buck on Education |
Ken spoke about how our educational system is not presently providing what we need for our economy and our country. That we need more scientists and engineers, but that it needs to be accomplished locally. He doesn't blame teachers at all for what's going on. He sees the core problem that parents have not been involved enough. Ken discussed the fundamental need for a parent (usually the mom) to be fully involved in the child's education.
