In her latest book, “How to Get Your Child to the Top†, Megan Lisa Jones posits that if a child born in to any circumstance can succeed if s/he receives a good education. Through research, interviews and surveys, Jones finds that opportunities increasingly go to the more educated and skilled but that our education system is sadly, not keeping up with the changing realities our children face as they graduate into a weak job market, breakdown of traditional career paths and new industries. Values, leadership, creativity, critical thinking, continued learning, innovation and passion are too often never part of any curriculum that is used to teach our children.
So what is a parent to do? “Get Your Child to the Top” contains insight from educators, kids, venture capitalists, thought leaders and CEOs to provide constructive answers and real solutions to prepare children for the ever-evolving opportunities and challenges of the modern world.
