Our nations education system is teaching our children how to take and pass tests, students aren't being taught to work with their hands or that they are able to make a living-wage doing so. As such, the recent generations have fallen short of learning a work ethic, the ability to fix instead of buying or to critically think to solve problems on the fly. Children today are missing out on the life lessons, technical hands-on learning classes taught past generations!

Nearly half of all high school students we talked to described themselves as not doing well in the academic lecturing environment and/or they don’t test well, "it just isn’t the way they learn". Over half of those individuals said that having technical hands-on learning classes or programs available to them in some form made going to school bearable. Most of the other half said that, had a technical hands-on learning class or program been available to them, they would have been more agreeable to stay in school or at least made an effort to do so, instead of dropping out of High School.

It is fact, that students able to engage in technical hands-on learning classes and programs graduate at rates in the 90 percentile, where students with none of these classes available to them, graduate at rates in the low 70% range. The numbers for these students that go on to some kind of post-secondary schooling is also increased when they have technical hands-on learning available to them. Our Nation has millions of unfilled jobs, jobs that unless filled will be more likely to leave our shores, jobs that can be filled and sustained (even added to) when our children are taught the skills and abilities found in technical hands-on learning classes!
