Babson Blames Schools For Unemployment
Boston AP Roger Babson, investment expert, told the New England Association of School Superintendents that high school students are trained to pursue consumerist goals and that the U.S. school system is primarily responsible for up to seven million of ten million unemployed. He warned that politically influenced school committees and rising teacher salaries have turned education into political plums and distorted the philosophy taught to graduates. He argued a decline in character since 1915 correlates with increased unemployment and warned that employers can no longer afford to hire graduates seen as “worthless goods.”
