tkt8763-01: Bob Hughes

[Shirley Lee Harrison <slh10@ra.msstate.edu>]

I wish my school board could hear Bob Hughes share the wealth of his
experiences with technology planning.  I was excited to learn that the
U.S. leads the world in patents.  
Bob Hughes mentioned two problems that were discovered after a 2 1/2
million dollar study was conducted.

	1.  Kids today are coming to school less prepared.           

	2.  In order to get a job today students are going to have to be
	    even more prepared than their parents.

One quote from Bob Hughes that I plan to write in my journal is
"Everything "net" down is minimum wage."

The middle class is going to be a minority.  This tells us how important
our standards are or should be in education.  It is clear that we need to
as Bob Hughes puts it "raise the bar."
