Has American Public Education Failed Us? with Manny Wolfe

Has the American Public Education System Failed Us? The answer is a resounding YES! But it's not that simple.

The systems of teaching and advancing students dates back to the 8th, Century AD under King Charlemagne and reinvented by Horace Mann in the 1800s, when our country needed to prepare farm workers for factory work...moving from seasonal work, to punching a time clock.

But today, as we use our intellect more and more to get work done, our school system is still preparing our youth for an outdated world. If the future of work is about quantum calculations, robotics and AI, and working in space, has the American education system kept pace with our students?

"We've discovered that soft skills, such as communication, success principles, emotional intelligence and leadership skills are the skills that determine life-long success in every profession." And yet, they are not taught in public school or college.

So, Manny Wolfe started the Advantage Education Academy, to address this gap in skill set, focusing on combining modern academic achievement with leadership skills.

Brad and Manny discuss the history of education, the work of Charlotte Thomson Iserbyt, who wrote the book The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America, and of course, how to get back on track to be competitive with the rest of the world.
