We had 500 students attending workshops from 20 middle school and high schools throughout the Arizona to learn about the business and get experience working with professionals.

Students need to take more college preparatory courses in high school, and schools need to begin forcing their students to have a more rigorous senior year, instead of having a 'blow-off' year.

What we're hearing is that approximately 14 schools from across the Denver metro area, across school districts, students are having conversations about walking out.

The solution is to increase the student counselor ratio at the schools. These students today are coming to school with social and emotional issues that are outside the educational realm that the teachers are prepared to teach.

When schools flourish, all flourishes

The purpose of school should not be to prepare students for more school. We should be seeking to have fully engaged students now.
