There are a lot of places to start and things that need to happen. But if you really want to have a boom in job growth you need new ideas, new inventions, new investments that create a high demand for a product or service. But there needs to be big changes if we are to influence the realm of ideas and entrepreneurship. Where do we develop our realm of ideas? The education system.
It is evident through studies and facts that the American educational system has been in decline for years and not getting better even though many administrations have pumped more and more dollars into the system. We obviously know it hasn't been working. Each administration has opted to pump more money into its system. Results have been not so good. Many voices keep saying, "well it must need more funding then!"
What the Education system really needs is total reform. There are plenty of bad teachers in the system that are not getting weeded out. The reason why is, because of Union protections. If a public school wants to get rid of a problem teacher that is not doing their job its nearly impossible once that teacher has tenure. They have to spend large amounts of money and jump through countless loopholes to get rid of a bad teacher, so they give up on trying. Some of these bad teachers get placed into a pool of failing public schools where all the other bad teachers get sent. So in turn our system is not allowing us to get rid of the bad ones to make room for hiring the good ones. Teachers have way too many protections, and so the excess in bad teachers is hindering our educational system to teach upcoming work force. We are not creating enough entrepreneurs like we used to.
To create jobs we need a revolution in the realm of ideas and entrepreneurship. To fix the realm of ideas we need to fix the education system. To fix the education system we need real reform.
