Until The School Systems Change What They Invest In, Americans Will Be Behind

  • Through the his­to­ry of this coun­try we have brought peo­ple into this coun­try and edu­cat­ed them all around the world. The peo­ple that are cross­ing the bor­der are not engi­neers, sci­en­tists or in the med­ical field. 
  • What we have done over the years with our chil­dren and our edu­ca­tion sys­tem. We have allowed mil­lions to come across the bor­der. We have said we need work­ers to work on the farms, con­struc­tion, hotels, not engi­neers and sci­en­tists. So when Vivek says cel­e­brat­ing the prom queen over the math whiz. We don’t invest enough in STEM (sci­ence, tech­nol­o­gy, engi­neer­ing, and math­e­mat­ics) in edu­ca­tion. We could stop look­ing around the world. We have edu­cat­ed the world, they have come over there to get their degrees and gone back to their coun­try.  
  • In GA, we have SPLOST and an eSPLOST. The only thing you can do with the SPLOST is build. You can’t take the SPLOST and invest in STEM. They have spent 1.5M on a turf field, 1.5M on a bus garage, 1.5M over a weight train­ing facil­i­ty. We have spent an enor­mous amount of mon­ey on DEI in our edu­ca­tion sys­tem and build­ing med­ical coun­sel­ing sys­tems in our schools for the kids that don’t know who they are. We have a tran­si­tion plan in place. We don’t go to the board of edu­ca­tion and request the mon­ey be spent on STEM. Look at the last 25 years at the turn to in the edu­ca­tion sys­tem. Until the school sys­tems change what they invest in, Amer­i­cans will be behind oth­er coun­tries in edu­ca­tion. 
  • Not every­thing that Elon and Vivek are say­ing is not wrong. Until you are ready to stop wast­ing mon­ey on DEI and tran­si­tion pro­grams in our schools and start focus­ing on STEM, it will not cor­rect the prob­lem.
