With large industries throwing out the factory model as counterproductive, it is long past time for schools to do the same. I wonder how many adults would do well at dealing with different job requirements and a different boss every 47 minutes.

About This Quote

This quote emphasizes that large companies need to start using a factory model in order to increase efficiency. It is not just a matter of the job being the same every 47 minutes, but rather a matter of being able to adapt to changes in the workplace. In order to adapt, companies need to change their work processes and positions regularly. In order to do so effectively, they must have a strong workforce. That means having people who are adaptable enough to deal with changes in the workplace.
