I've Grown Weary of First's

21/1/2016

I've grown weary of announcements of "Firsts" - at this moment it's "first generation college student" because the upwardly-mobile reality I've witnessed over the last 40 years reveal we need more than the first generation educated...

For example, the economic success associated with education, only begins with the "first generation" college graduate. Sustaining educational success and, hopefully, building wealth and/or lasting social change with it - requires educating the 2nd and 3rd generations - at least - in a manner that makes education the rule instead of the rule's exception.

That's my only example for now - CLICK HERE for a Brookings report that supports my "first generation college student" weariness.
