PC ProSchools – The Click

Last night President Obama gave the following address to Congress and broadcasted on television to all Americans. He has inspired us all to seek an education that will help you secure a more promising future. Here is an exerpt from his address.
The third challenge we must address is the urgent need to expand the promise of education in America.
In a global economy where the most valuable skill you can sell is your knowledge, a good education is no longer just a pathway to opportunity – it is a pre-requisite.
Right now, three-quarters of the fastest-growing occupations require more than a high school diploma. And yet, just over half of our citizens have that level of education. We have one of the highest high school dropout rates of any industrialized nation. And half of the students who begin college never finish.
This is a prescription for economic decline, because we know the countries that out-teach us today will out-compete us tomorrow. That is why it will be the goal of this administration to ensure that every child has access to a complete and competitive education – from the day they are born to the day they begin a career.
…
It is our responsibility as lawmakers and educators to make this system work. But it is the responsibility of every citizen to participate in it. And so tonight, I ask every American to commit to at least one year or more of higher education or career training. This can be community college or a four-year school; vocational training or an apprenticeship. But whatever the training may be, every American will need to get more than a high school diploma. And dropping out of high school is no longer an option. It’s not just quitting on yourself, it’s quitting on your country – and this country needs and values the talents of every American. That is why we will provide the support necessary for you to complete college and meet a new goal: by 2020, America will once again have the highest proportion of college graduates in the world.
I know that the price of tuition is higher than ever, which is why if you are willing to volunteer in your neighborhood or give back to your community or serve your country, we will make sure that you can afford a higher education. And to encourage a renewed spirit of national service for this and future generations, I ask this Congress to send me the bipartisan legislation that bears the name of Senator Orrin Hatch as well as an American who has never stopped asking what he can do for his country – Senator Edward Kennedy.

This made me laugh out loud ! I can’t wait to share this with Justin! Sorry to disappoint anyone but yes… Justin is still happily married!!!

With most 2 & 4 schools currently reporting double digit enrollment growth going back to school is the clear choice to protect you and your family during this economic crisis.  But, the traditional education system is failing us because the of the time, focus and results associated with these types of schools. Ask yourself?

*Where is it written that it should take 2-5 years to gain the knowledge and skills necessary to be a valued employee?

*When is what I am learning going to pay the bills?

*Who says that you have to come to class, that class can’t come to you?

*Why do I want to play the unfortunate odds with 23-57% graduation rates? (As reported to the US Dept of Education Statistics)

Consider PC ProSchools… a school that won’t fail you!

This Wednesday our first live instructional session took place and the response for the students was outstanding! We are thrilled to be a part of this dynamic approach to education!
