If Democrats want to change their fortunes in future national elections, acknowledging that our public education system is disconnected from the modern workforce would be a good place to start.
To win back working-class voters, Democrats must reimagine public education, shifting the one-size-fits-all approach we have now to a dynamic workforce model that prepares young people for high-wage jobs and membership in a prosperous middle class.
Young people also know that our public school system is not set up so that those who educate them and those who hire them are working together on students' behalf.
Broad reform of public education, that moves beyond arguments about charter schools or adding a few vocational courses, is necessary to provide equal opportunities for young people.
