Bill Gates Proclaims US High Schools Obsolete

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the i-coulda-told-you-that dept.

bryan sent us a story about Bill Gates' take on US High Schools. He says 'America's high schools are obsolete. By obsolete, I don't just mean that they're broken, flawed or underfunded, though a case could be made for every one of those points. By obsolete, I mean our high schools even when they're working as designed cannot teach all our students what they need to know today.'"

    I wrote this on K5 to explain how to hack the college admissions system through sports, so that you can still get into college no matter how bad your school is. This is based on my own personal experience, but I have tried to make it as geek friendly as possible.
