Guest speaker Richard Kreutzberg is writing a book aimed at solving the root cause of the problems of disadvantaged kids - illustrated dramatically by the events in Baltimore this past week. The solution is to offer these kids a needs driven curriculum in school rather than the present one-size-fits-all pre-college curriculum that has little to do with furnishing the tools they need to succeed in life and the world of work. As Steve Jobs said, "the solution to our educational problem is to "Think Different." A declaration that was self-illustrating - in it he substituted the adjective for the adverb.
