Human capital is essential to the success of any nation. In the case of the United States the motive behind the public high school, I thought was a good one. Tomorrow workers need the necessary tools to secure capital, which in turn helps fuel economic growth. If we look at countries such as China where the wealth is increasing and the infrastructure is improving, this is an example of a government wanting to see their country improve as a whole. In China more money is being put into education as oppose to being cut. If you don’t value the youth, this hinders the progress of a society. Anytime there is, a crisis education is the first to be considered for a cut. America needs to become more community orientated and this would be the bases for long-term change.
How can the youth of America be enthusiastic about education when the government cannot provide a full fledge education for them?
The focus for what is necessary in this nation needs to be refocused. This chapter does a good job in highlighting those areas.
