ReadWriteWeb: Education or Entrepreneurship: Do You Have To Make a Choice?

After reading this article by Audrey Watters and watching the video, I wonder if schools need to create alternative opportunities for some students.  There are just those students who will never be good at taking tests or passing certain subjects in school.  What is our response?  We just keep trying to teach them a different way and hope one day they will eventually "get it." I think we need to focus on student strengths and prepare them for what they do excel in and not what we want them to excel in.  The article stressed that maybe a path of education is not the right choice for some students rather a business opportunity may be the option for them.  Some students just have unique talents and need opportunities outside of the current education system to utilize them.
