Creating a Functional Education: Training Students for Future Success Instead of Setting Them Up for Failure

by David Powers

There is something wrong with education in America. No. Belay that. There is something wrong with education in the world.
Year after year, in different ways and using different methods, schools churn out and chew up millions of children who possess only a generalized relatively useless body of knowledge, pass a few standardized tests, and can’t seem to function in the real world.
Something needs to change.
It's time we switch over to a functional education that will train our kids for success rather than set them up for failure.
Dr. David Powers is a Cultural Architect, combining the worlds of futurist, informationist, and counselor into one. Considered a human puzzlemaster, he has a penchant for assembling random bits and bytes into workable solutions. He's a best-selling author in the areas of cognitive psychology, experimental education theory, and martial arts. He's a decorated veteran of the Marine Corps, Army, and a founding member of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. As a professional model and actor he has appeared in film, fashion shows, and even comic books. Married and the proud father of three feral boys and one princess that he and his wife homeschool, his mission in life is to find the magical best mug of coffee in the world.
