The SPEED of the NEED
> Today’s students and adults learn in many situations – traditional classrooms, online classes, web sites, audio
lectures (CDs, podcasts, downloads), video presentations (DVDs, web videos), computer and console video games
and programs, reading (books, magazines, pamphlets, periodicals, articles) audio books, e-books, discussions,
blogs, trial and error, do what others do (modeling, mimic), day dreaming, sleeping on it, etc. They need better study
and learning tools and strategies to learn as well as they can. SLS Study System provides these tools!
> The Needs of today’s students are different from those of past students. Today’s students will change jobs
10 – 14 times in their lifetime. They'll change careers 2 - 3 times so they need to know how to learn new ideas for
new jobs. New ideas and products change all of the time. Some will start their own businesses.
> Today's students need higher education and college and need to learn to handle tomorrow's jobs. They'll have to
re-learn many ideas they study and learn today because tomorrow they'll learn many new ideas and must know how
to combine them together. Its why students need to learn good study skills FAQ - Q16 FAQ - Q17
> We’re preparing today’s students for tomorrow’s jobs, to solve tomorrow’s problems, but many of those jobs and
problems don’t exist yet (20% of jobs that existed in 2004 won’t exist in 2010). Today’s students need to learn how
to learn information and new ideas. (see DID YOU KNOW for more information)

What You Don't Know CAN Kill Your Career
> Too many of today’s students don’t know how to study very well so they have problems in Middle School, High
School, Home School, Community College, Professional or Career School, Trade or Technology Schools, a 4-year
College and University. They get stuck where they are. See FAQ - Q15
> Most Study Skill Books are written for students planning to go to a 4-year college or university. There’s not
much written for the Middle School, Home School or High School so students do well and get ready for higher
education training (Community College, Career or Professional Schools, Trade or Technology Schools) FAQ - Q5
> Students struggle in higher education schools. Only 28 - 30% of high school graduates go to a 4-year college and
about 33% drop out of college without a degree. Many of the rest who graduate go to some kind of higher education or
community college and 50% of them drop out without a degree, license, certificate, license, etc. 54% of all workers
today have 'some college' which means they never finished any kind of higher education for tomorrow's jobs. Many
students aren’t getting the higher education they'll need. (see EDUCATION ISSUES for more information)
