Everything is Connected - now I see it

This book is a very easy-to-read, incredibly valuable book for businesses, communities, and, in fact, EVERYONE for understanding that no one sector of society is to blame for America's current struggles. It's not a matter of "fixing schools" to help kids do better and achieve more...schools don't operate in a vacuum. It's a matter of schools and businesses, community and government, the media and parents, all coming together to agree on a collective vision for the future. It can be done. I felt incredibly inspired finishing this book. I can't wait for the follow up...putting the plans in action. I am getting a bunch to give out to clients and yes, even my superiors. We should all be working toward this end!

A great tool for understanding the value of more work and less stuff for our kids

For most my age, growing up in the Dakota's was filled with work, struggle, and responsibility. We all thought that making it easier for our children was the best way to help them prepare for their future. So it came as a surprise to me that over time, far too many children seemed to live a life of entitlement and expectation over knowing that success comes from the wisdom gained from the experience of hard work. Not only did this book help me understand why, instead of who to blame, but it helped me understand how to help guide my children in raising my grandchildren. The System is a must read for all parents and grandchilden in understanding the environment kids need to be ready for an uncertain future.
