"The organization that can't
communicate can't change, and
the corporation that can't change
is dead"                -- Nido Qubein
Our high schools- even when they’re  working exactly as designed-cannot teach our kids what they need to know
today. Training the workforce of tomorrow with the high schools of today is like trying to teach kids about today’s
computers on a 50-year-old mainframe. It’s the wrong tool for the times.                              - Bill Gates,
