Students: Giving Yourself the Gift of a Broad Education
As an educator with several years of experience working with a wide array of students in various educational contexts, I am concerned about the specialization trend that is taking place in schools at increasingly lower grade levels.

As a greater percentage of high school graduates begin to pursue college education, competition for professional employment increases.
