Over the weekend I shopped for some yummy cake & ice cream and noticed that many were doing the same as they were celebrating graduation. Retailers are equipped to cash in during this time of year loading their shelves with grad themes and a full array of products. This is an exciting time for family and friends as youngsters embark on a new journey in academia. For me the thought was bittersweet as I think of the high percentage of graduates who really aren't equipped to move on because they received a subpar education. In business, when a product or service is inefficient, it will suffer terrible losses and eventually may have to close its doors. Unfortunately, in public education there is no exit strategy-sometimes it's just a continuation of perpetual incompetence. We MUST do better. Shout out to all the grads!
