My wife has worked in k-12 education (English teacher, Principal, etc.) for more than 20 years.
I have worked in k-12 for the past 13 years (Technology Director).
The issue with both k-12 and higher-ed is that you are "training" students today for jobs that do not currently exist. The
#1 skill students need today is problem solving (and not coding which is what too many educators think - because they follow trends) because it can be applied to any industry. Unfortunately, most students today cannot problem solve because their parents have done everything for them since birth.
