Dr. Neil Nedley and Dr. Randy Siebold appeared on the 3ABN Today program on Thursday, October 8, 2009. They discussed a crisis in America that is almost never in the news, yet may have deadly consequences for the U.S. economy. That crisis is the state of our education system.

The United States spends more money on education than health care. We personally invest thousands of hours in education, yet companies hiring graduates must spend more money and time to re-educate new hires. Our education system simply does not do an adequate job of preparing students to work in the real world. With the astronomical cost of education on the increase, this pattern is unsustainable. Dr. Nedley, and Dr. Siebold explained that true education reform is the answer to these challenges. It is their goal that Weimar College become a model for this reform exemplifying harmonious whole person education.

In addition, Dr. Nedley and Dr. Siebold discussed health reform and offer answers for America’s health care crisis. They explained the difference between true and false health care reform, and how to find the answers to today’s health care problems.
