In the last 30 years, jobs have been redistributed: employment share and earnings have shrunk for high school drop outs
• Until the 1970’s the United States’ economic dominance rested on a solid agricultural and manufacturing base where workers with high school or less could provide a comfortable living for their families
• Today, ideas rather than natural resources comprise an increasing share in GDP growth

Curriculum
• The National Education Association addressed this issue by appointing a Committee of Ten in 1892 to establish a standard curriculum.
• The goal of high school was to prepare all students to do well in life, contributing to their own well-being and society's good, and to prepare some students for college.
