By: Dr. Rich McGrath blogs about this issue at www.drrichmcgrath.com. According to McGrath, “There are more than six millions jobs available in the United States and an unemployment rate stubbornly stuck above 8%. These two pieces of information would appear incongruent, yet employers regularly insist that basic skillsets, rudimentary math and basic reading and comprehension are lacking among more than 80% of all applicants. It is impossible to examine the role of preparing a future workforce without looking at early education…all roads lead to elementary education. Sadly, the simple well-tested practices of lean manufacturing, Six Sigma, Kaizen Blitz events, are completely unpracticed in the field of education.” Children of poverty do not have the same access to technology and the internet as more affluent students, creating a greater disparity of needed skills in the workplace.
