Chicago to make future plans a graduation requirement
Chicago to make future plans a graduation requirement
Students will soon have to show that they’ve secured a job or received a letter of acceptance to college, a trade apprenticeship, a gap year program or the military in order to graduate, The Washington Post reports.
Emanuel’s plan, approved by the Board of Education in late May, makes Chicago's the first big-city system to make post-graduation plans a requirement.
Even more reason to believe that high school diplomas are becoming worthless. If you graduate with a high school diploma there is no guarantee of a job. A high school diploma also does not necessarily prepare graduates for these "future plans", whether it be military service, a career in entertainment, a trade, or college. This kind of rule risks putting the burden on the students who can get held back for not having future plans if the school they go to does not prepare them for the future and unfortunately many schools are not future oriented.
Social media classes in my opinion should be taught where students learn how to monetize their content. Financial literacy classes should also be taught and it should include classes on cryptocurrencies, along with stocks, REITs, and municipal bonds.
I`m from germany and we have a great system called dual university education. Where students spent have there time in the university and the other half in big companies to get them ready for the future job.

Not an old news, I'm an associate student in Hong Kong, and my Assosiates Degree is considered to not have any value at all..
Nice idea you got here. Social media has become hug industry with hug potential. It is equally good to teach about finance as money in the world don't know how to make money and how to control money in other to make more money. Crypotcurrency is the easiest way to make money. It doesn't require you to be rich before going into it. Good job. Weldon.
We are teaching kids the skills that were required about fifty years ago. Programming is neglected massively.
Great to post...good luck for you.
Nice post!

Its about time. make education worth something, instead of a junk piece of paper.
