Honestly, that makes more sense which is why PRIVATE industries should create schools inorder to foster educatin relevent to them.

Having organized education that is relevent to the real world is an exellent idea. However, reforming schools is not the appropriate approach.

Code boot camps charge that much for inadequate preparation and people are still clamboring to get in there.

These types aspects are paramount to popular culture and forward thinking. However, if I want to get a job out of school, id prefer a guarentee
