Students need wholistic education which focuses on human development, cognitive development as well as the 3 R’s. Teachers also need more assistance in the areas of psychology and classroom mgmt.

We need to engage the entire community from single hipsters to couples without children to become a part of the educational process and support schools, teachers and students. The whole nation suffers when students are dumb&dumber, drop-out, etc. The entire framework needs to be re-evaluated and adjusted for a 22nd century reality not one driven by producing more cogs for the non-existent industrial machine.
