In Thomas L. Friedman’s “Need a Job? Invent it,” he expresses the urgent need to reimagine schools to fit the needs of the 21st century. Instead of preparing children for college we need to prepare them for innovation. The knowledge being taught in school is becoming obsolete.

Friedman feels that we should be teaching children skills like critical thinking, communication, and collaboration.
