Business Influence: Positive or Negative

             Business Influence: Positive or Negative
             Position 1: For Increased Business Influence
             "Good schools are good business" is how the paragraph begins when introducing this position. Good schools are good business because it seems to benefit all. However, according to position one in this instant, our schools are not providing our businesses with trained staff that posses the necessary skills to successfully run a good business. According to very many recent studies, the business industry seems to be placing the blame for very many unskilled workers in the their industry on poor skills directly related to the non-teaching in our public school systems. Business claim that cannot find qualified workers to meet their needs. The U.S. business leaders in turn have come up with ways to end these shortcomings in their workplace. Three ways to do this are by helping educators establish tough standards and assess the performance of each and every student and school system against these same standards. The use of the information from the assessments would be used to improve schools and hold them accountable for their successes and failures. As a result, a Business Roundtable, which includes CEO's of 200 U.S. corporations, was established to reform the quality of American education.
             The reason for business concern is that corporations have seen a steady decline of skilled workers. Why is this such a horrible event? CEO's have noticed that due to the lack of skilled workers, over 70% of CEO's acknowledge a decrease in company earnings due to poor or under skilled workers. Almost half of all CEO's surveyed complained that they were dissatisfied with the quality of their job applicants. Many applicants cannot read or lack sufficient work habits to survive in the business industry. Businesses need people are very competent and can perform basic skills in order to run as successfully as possible.
