In education, at almost every level, there’s been a layer of paint the fence – teaching students to do one thing by means of something else that probably seems unrelated. Few students read and study Shakespeare to gain an appreciation for 16th and 17th century European theater, for example. Today, that teaching approach has spawned some educational pairings that, at the wax the car level, can appear strange. Another example of the Mr. Miyagi approach to teaching (that’s the karate master in The Karate Kid) is NFTE- the Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship. At NFTE, they run in-school programs in middle and high schools that teach students how to create and run their own businesses.
