The Power of Education: High School Drop Out to College President | Vince Solis | TEDxCarsonCity

Dr Vince Solis speaks the truth. Excellent presentation.

Great to see Dr Solis on Tedx. He was a great mentor in my college days.

Awesome work, Doc! This man taught me that you don’t need a title to be an effective leader.

I dropped out of high school, best decision I ever made.

Skill>degree or diploma..
But society doesn't understand this!

"Don't make it easy to drop out of high school." I disagree.
The best relationships operate with an open door policy, where both parties stay because they want to. The problem is that these kids see a future, or lack of future, that will result from their education, and decide their time is better spent elsewhere. There is low quality education and failure to adapt. One example; instead of banning phones, start teaching kids how to get the maximum output from this constant internet connection. Otherwise you're just teaching them how things used to work.

"High school dropouts commit more than 2/3 of all crime." Man that is an important statistic. Maybe a better educated society is a more peaceful one...
