"One of the great lies of life is 'follow your passions,'" says Cuban as part of the Amazon Insights for Entrepreneurs series. "Everybody tells you, 'Follow your passion, follow your passion.'"This is why students should get as much education as they can, especially in K-12 where there's no out-of-pocket expense.
Cuban says that's bad advice because you may not excel at what you are passionate about.
I wonder how many teachers, who often dish out this bad advice, planned on being teachers when they were in high school. I certainly didn't.
No K-12 out-of-pocket expense? What planet are you on? It's pay to play here.
ReplyDeleteDE is a lot of moola, especially if the high school doesn't offer what the student needs and there is no public transportation to the Community College. Funding is so bad here the kids even have to pay for PreCalc..any elective not applicable to a diploma is not offered for free. The Empire State isn't called the Empire State because it gives education away for free, it's because its behind pay walls that take either lots of tuition or a union apprenticeship.
Remember the recent movie scenes where they are mocking US education...young Spock in the Vulcan learning center, Cooper in Instellar with his salutatorian son whom the educators thought wasn't fit for higher ed....knowledge is power. Find that outside of K12 these days.
