Job market in the US is changing much faster than in most countries. Simpler jobs disappear while new and exciting opportunities appear on the horizon. Current school curriculum is far behind industry demands and the distance is growing.

Investments in acceleration of technology are much greater than educational investments. Plus, it takes tremendous efforts to formalize new knowledge into "educational" materials. It is much easier to lose an existing job than to jump on a new fast moving wagon. The jumpers, who can catch up with the changes, are our educational elite. But it is possible to break this paradigm and deliver better educational value to everyone! Read at http://FixingEducation.us. We change the formula of education and offer a cost efficient alternative to enormously expensive schools, while teaching Top Development Skills.
