What we could be doing is investing in our own kids futures today, by teaching them everything we know today that counts, for the next generation who aquires problem solving hands on skills we be the ones in demand the world over, not demanding the things they wished they had or could have done.
My generation is probably the last one that will be able to do this, to be a skilless human will be a brain dead person, not knowing or caring where they sit amongst those working for nothing.
Hmmm I wouldn't say the new generation are skilless but shall we say they have skills that are not much use when push comes to shove perhaps?
They do have new skills to be fair to them but they're not skills those of us with grey hair would appreciate much
I believe it was my duty to invest in our childrens futures not the governments, most of what the careers dept wanted for me has been of no use to what I wanted since entering the work place.
When I came home from school after my first week at school, proud as punch. I ran excited into the kitchen where dad and gramps were sitting, I told them that the teacher was very pleased at our work, and when we all left school, she wanted us to be just like her. There was looks, then grandfather looked at dad who knodded, her said, go and tell teach, that here we do things differently.
As we are left at the fat controllers mercy, the children of tomorrow will have nothing and all other children will be working for them, until there are nothing left than old people doing nothing, we are headed that way as we speak, my system would provide something for later generations.
