CREATIVE CLASS ? AMERICANS ?
Who are the Americans? Education system in USA .
USA is a multi-national country. White Americans, black people, Hispanic people (so Spanish is used as a second language) , east countries and others…
Different cultures, different life styles, different perceptions.
Even different states, different state rules etc. that’s why people who live in USA say we are AMERICANS. Like the author says
America's growth miracle turns on one key factor: its openness to new ideas, which has allowed it to dominate the global competition for talent, and in doing so harness the creative energies of its own people--and, indeed, the world.
They have to … Because they are multi-nationals.
Let’s talk about education
Education is important for creative class.
Their education especially in high schools was collapsed.
They are searching for new things. That‘s why they created charter schools.
Charter School is defined between government school and public school
If you are an investor, you apply for charter school.
You may choose your building, your staff and your students.
Families do not pay for the school it is like a government school but administrator is private. Administrator can choose his staff .How many students you have,
Board of education in that state pays for each student. But who comes to your school you should accept it (the reason is ‘no child behind left law’)
Then as a administrator by that amount of money, you pay rent of the building, salaries and other facilities.
And you should be successful in your education. Your achievement in state or national competitions , give different approaches to American system , teaching and learning methods, approach to student-family … All these success and methods are followed by education of board , families , others …
American government thinks ‘’ These charter schools can be new alternative for education system before college and university life
So high educated American people can go to the universities and colleges ..so their local( domestic) high educated people work in universities ..
If you look universities , as a academic staff you will see many academicians who come from different countries .. They use their potential..
But the problem is their local( domestic) people. Local( domestic) Americans are not high educated.
( p.s) If you live in a system, you can not be creative . Because you think that system solves everything.
