I was a substitute teacher for three years before I started my present job (where I blissfully work alone 99% of the time). My preference was high schools because it meant rotating students. <br> <br> Last school year I had a tenth grade class in geography who were assigned to draw a map of our county and mark it with main roads and landmarks. It did not have to be precise and it did not have to be detailed filled.<br> <br> None of those students could do this simple task. They said they didn't know what the county looked like, the names of roads or what landmarks where. So, to try and simplify it for them, I said to just draw a map from their house to the school. That was too much to ask as well. These are students who would be driving in the near future! Not one of them could even tell you what city our school was in.<br> <br> American workplace, meet your future employees.
