The problem is the vast majority of teachers are not risk takers so how do you expect them to teach kids to do something that is completely foreign to them.  If we are going to compete - schools at the primary level need to start developing entrepreneurial skills in the classroom - schools need to become incubators of small and e-businesses - kids need to given responsibilities in how to set-up a small business and they need opportunities where they can share in the risks and rewards of these school based start-up.
