In just a few years, today's children and teens will forge careers that look nothing like those their parents and grandparents knew. Even the definition of amp quot career amp quot and amp quot job amp quot are changing as more people build their own teams to create new businesses, apps, and services. Although these changes are well underway, our system of K amp ndash 2 education in the United States lags behind. Our education system still subscribes to the idea that content is king. The exclusive focus on content is reflected in what we test and how we teach, and even the toys we offer our children at home. Employers want to hire excellent communicators, critical thinkers, and innovators - in short, they want brilliant people. But they are often disappointed. So what can we do, as parents, to help our children be brilliant and successful? Stories about the failures of our educational system abound, but most of them stop after pointing out the problems.

Taken together, these are the skills that will make up the straight-A report card for success in the 2 st century.
