About the Book
The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn.' -Alvin Toffler Are people, all human beings, smart? Then why is our education system so caught up in coaches, teachers, cheerleaders and managers on the sidelines grading and judging, only to lead our nation to robotic systems keepers instead of lovers of learning? The Last Lifeboat asks these hard questions about our current education system and offers hope for the future, teaching people to learn, unlearn, and relearn. From courageous truth combined with witty anecdotes and humor at our own stupidity, Skip Work incites readers of all classes and status to reinvent the future of education in America now,before the future is upon us! Read it or not, the future is now. The Last Lifeboat was written for the estimated 225 million Americans who do not have a college degree. 'A College Degree for $29.99' is the alternate title. Ironically, those who have a college degree might want to read it too, especially if one day their diploma turns into a learner's permit that labels them as an 'I have to be taught' passenger who may or may not possess the skills required to drive their own learning. When there are a limited number of lifeboats on any Titanic system.
