Practicing Summary and Paraphrase

In the post below I will be practicing a summary and a paraphrase of a significant quote from Andy Kessler's article.

Original Source: 

"Fixing it means looking into the future, not the past. In addition to history and literature and basic communications skills needed for critical thinking, we ought to be teaching a curriculum that has some vague connection with the reality of what employers want today and over the next several decades" (Kessler 1).

Paraphrase: 

Andy Kessler argued in his article, "Our 19th Century Curriculum," that making education better is only possible by using curriculum that looks to the future instead of the past. He says that education needs to include what has always been taught, the basics, as well as focus on what many companies need in their workers today and in the future.

Summary: 

Fixing education means that we have to look to the future of jobs and what employers want, instead of teaching outdated curriculum.
