Makes me want to stand up and cheer

Occasionally, I see an upload which makes me want to stand up and cheer.  This is one.  It also encapsulates what is wrong with our schools and businesses. The prevailing belief is whatever rut our school or business is in, well, that rut is the GREATEST rut there is! Change is sacrilege. Because of this mentality, schools and businesses do not change. Ten years later they are in the same muddy rut. America’s education scores have been dropped consistently for two decades and schools are not rising to the challenge of educating today’s students for tomorrow’s world. Our most profitable businesses are dodging the taxman and selling foreign products on the American market. Worse, most polls show– by a margin well into high numeral double digits – that Americans believe we are on the wrong track to the future. We had better get our ducks in a row because we are being overtaken in all industries by companies and countries that are, to use an old California expression, “eating our lunch.” You start changing the American educational and industrial landscape at the bottom, one employee at a time. If your school or company is not willing to treat you as more valuable than its students or customers, it’s time to find another job.
