New, higher paying jobs of the future will
be in the service sectors of the economy. The
fastest growing job areas require highly skilled
workers. The small number of qualified people
who will be available for these jobs support the
view that more women and minorities must be
more fully educated if for no other reason than
enlightened self interest.

WHO IS SCOTT FLANSBURG?
Scott Flansburg - The Human Calculator, was born in a small town of Herkimer, New York on
December 28, 1963.
It was in the public schools in New York where Scott discovered a new and exciting way to work out
math problems. At first he was discouraged from using his new found methods, because they were not
the 'right way' to do math. However, Scott persisted and excelled in math. Fellow students began
learning from Scott. After he saw his fellow students scoring much higher on math tests by using his
system, Scott knew he had developed something every student and adult alike could use.
After graduation from high school, Scott enlisted in the United States Air Force working for Special
Investigations for three years in Yokota, Japan. Scott now speaks fluent Japanese.
After leaving the Air Force Scott decided to do what he does best, teaching others to overcome their
fear of math, which he calls 'mathfobia'.
Scott has
been
featured on many national radio and television talk shows and a book on Scott's life is
in the works.
- Industry is having to spend literally billions
of dollars each year re-teaching our students
due to lack of preparation by our schools. We
are teaching reading, writing and math all over
again to young adults who are entering the
work force.
- The trainee must have a good working
knowledge of the theory behind what is being
taught because problem solving is not possible
without some understanding and appreciation
of the way elements of the task work hand in
hand.
