  • A Practical Guide to Teen Business and Cybersecurity - Volume 3: Entrepreneurialism, Bringing A Product to Market, Crisis Management for Beginners, Cybersecurity ... Basics, Taking a Company Public & more

    James Scott

    language (, Jan. 3, 2016)
    Adolescent education is corrupt and flawed. The ‘No Child Left Behind’ reform succeeded in little more than eliminating the last remnants of a useful education, only to be reshaped into the systematic and federally enforced dumbing down of America’s vibrant youth. From mathematics to science and from philosophy to business, the standard has dropped for both academics and those charged with the task of instructing our youth. Our children are being taught by societies misfits, not academic giants, as they would have you believe. School system administrators are wannabe CEO who couldn’t make it in the real world and our school boards are populated by politically motivated identity crisis victims trying to reinvent themselves. Those who have the power to elevate the standard lack the intellectual capacity to do so and those who have the intellectual capacity (such as those reading this text) lack the time to get involved. If your time is limited and you still want to make a difference, start with the education of your child. This book series has been authored with you and your child in mind.Currently, our standardized education platform that dictates the information introduced to your child is not meant to impart knowledge, rather it is meant to help them pass an annual test. This annual test is composed of mind numbingly academic questions that lack the most crucial component one is supposed to obtain through an education, knowledge. Education and knowledge are two completely separate things. Education is commoditized and redistributed by topic gate keepers selected by the establishment to instruct your child at the mediocre level that they see fit. Knowledge is the key ingredient in those ‘ah ha’ moments when critical thinking leads way to one’s intellectual and social evolution. Nowadays, the two key contributors to survival are the two topics the school system barely touches; business and cybersecurity. Teens are graduating high school without the ability to write a business plan, let alone balance a check book or write a press release for a business. In this virtual age, our children spend a majority of their free time online, yet schools don’t even cover cybersecurity. The good news is, this series covers these crucial topics and then some.Just like you, I’ve sat in my children’s parent teacher meetings, listening to a teacher, seated with a pretentious posture, articulate, with vigor and manufactured conviction, my child’s short comings in their class. Perhaps, unlike the reader, I precede to steer the conversation in the direction of having the teacher sell me on their academic and real life pedigree that qualifies them to make such statements. I ask them where I can buy a copy of their latest book and where I can download their latest whitepaper that was published by the niche hierarchy that validates them as an expert among their peers. I have yet to have one single teacher offer even one title they’ve published. I have, however, experienced, without fail an immediate change in posture, a mouth that was riddling my ears with my child’s supposed shortcomings, silenced and a sudden insecurity that was represented every time I met with the teacher from then on.Your child is not being taught by experts. They are being force-fed regurgitated content the teacher read in a book and pawns off as their own original thoughts, nothing more. Think about it. These automatons will read the standardized education syllabus that tells them what your child needs to know in order to pass the annual standard education test and they reverse engineer the spoon feeding of this cut and paste content. Where is the scholastic mastery we’ve been told was present by the establishment? Where is the articulation and communicative ingenuity that wins over your child’s mind so that they can elevate their intellectual capacity for critical thinking?

  • A Practical Guide to Teen Business and Cybersecurity - Volume 2: How to write a business plan, Cybersecurity 101, what is a direct public offering, how to protect against cyber-attacks and much more

    language (, Jan. 3, 2016)
    Take a moment to consider the educational system as a whole. The very system itself is fractured and broken and has been taken over by chaos; this includes the academically splintered cell in which your children are educated. The school board, principle, vice principle and the teachers for the most part have arrived in the field of education due to their incapacity to make it in the real world. Look at this flawed reality in which your children are forced to populate. Your children are under the restriction and virtual imprisonment of this institutional mechanism for virtually half of their lives up to the age of 18. Have you ever investigated the aptitude of even one teacher who has regurgitated textbook ideologies and philosophical notions into your child’s mind? Surely you’ve looked into their academic pedigree. No? How about that of their principle?If you’re like most parents, you have no clue who the strangers rearing your children are and just assume they are experts in the field in which they teach. As a society, we’ve been conditioned to trust those the government deems ‘worthy’, no questions asked. The sad reality is it is highly unlikely that your child’s teacher is an actual expert. Experts grace the upper echelon of their field of expertise and their pedigree is supported by published papers and books that dictate the current of their niche.In parent and teacher meetings, after your teen’s history teacher pretentiously serves you a laundry list of your child’s short comings, how do you respond? Have you considered changing the conversation to finding out what qualifies this ‘instructor’ to make such statements? What qualifies them to pick apart the way your child responds to the facts and fictions this teacher tosses about in the classroom. If they are an expert, surely they can ramble off a list of books and white papers they’ve authored to dictate the current of this field they claim as their domain. What research have they facilitated that has transformed the face of their niche subject? If they are like 99.9% of academics teaching grades 1 through 12, they have no publications to their name and are virtually nonexistent in the halls populated by niche genre experts. They are, for lack of a better term, wannabes.Our children are being taught and held hostage daily by automatons and imposters. That high school science teacher is not a scientist. He’s a social misfit who couldn’t cut it in the competitive scientific arena so he did exactly what others do when they are cast aside as industry rejects; he became a high school teacher. Yeah, sure, they’ll tell you that they ‘love’ to teach and that it’s their passion. They have simply come to grips with the reality that no one is going to hire them and they are more equipped to lecture to children who haven’t the courage to debate them in the classroom.Expect more from your school district and demand quality. One pivotal aspect of a quality education is the district’s attention to prepare teens with applicable skills. It’s shocking how many teenagers graduate high school without the ability to balance a checkbook or apply philosophical thought to real world debates. There are two places your child will get the education that entails the true knowledge they will need in the real world, and school is not one of them. Home and curriculum like this book you are reading right now combined with real life experience will give your child the tools they need to succeed.In this book, your teen will learn how to present an idea to an audience of investors, the ins and outs of Botnets and basic network device security configurations, how to write a business plan that will yield results and much more. This book will give your child the tools and resources they will absolutely need but is ardently lacking in the school system. This series will ignite a level of confidence and willpower that you may not have seen in your child before.
