Thank you to Marco Pfeiffer for being a guest blogger! It is posted with deep admiration and respect.

This post made me so happy — it came out right after the new version of the Money Bunny for Young People was completed.

I don’t want a nation of thinkers, I want a nation of workers, John Rockefeller, the godfather of the Modern Day School System.

Schools are not designed to foster critical thinking, the basics of what you need to better yourself or to understand how the system works.

Instead it is designed to mimic an industrial work setting that incentivizes memorizing things and wants you to stay in your lane.

This is part of the reason why over 65% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.

The system is designed to create worker bees who are occupied with working, getting paychecks, consuming and paying bills.

No time to think.

Whenever I write about how the school system fails Americans, a few claim that that this kind of knowledge is responsibility of the parents.

How do parents who were never taught these skills teach their kids?

You have to seek this kind of education in order to beat a rigged system. A system that is designed against the middle class.

The system is not broken. It works exactly as designed.

Onward and Upward!!
