I’m all for schools and businesses in employment together to fit into place the dots for students to cognize how to compete in a planetary men. We do entail to sweat to in good health meld the two entities. In the Atlanta Business Chronicle, Tim Hough writes give or take a few an opening going on relating Atlanta Public Schools and Atlanta businesses (Atlanta Business Chronicle, June 1-7) to do vindicatory such as a item. Beverly Hall, the superintendent, is working to to the full recuperate the general public seminary system to bracket together the dots in the disciplines of engineering, vigour sciences and research. But I believe the direction may be ill-conceived.

China and India are generating baskets-full of engineers and researchers. On right-down numbers, America cannot compete. But what has America always been hot at (besides war)? Creating businesses!–tapping into our entrepreneurial real meaning and pavement new roads, new industries and new technologies. Who would have imaginary Google or Amazon 15 time of life ago?

But are we forgetting where we came from? The Kauffman Foundation basically reportable that migrant bourgeois happenings are out tempo those of native Americans. While it multiplied for Asians and Latinos, it stayed steady for non-Latino whites and even cruel for blacks. Where are our entrepreneurs? Who will manufacture the next Microsoft?

Although I extol Hall for her front to tread new ground, I desire school systems would focusing their notice on lessons kids how to run businesses, not be engaged by them.
