2021 #VWEDU: BIZ: If your high school students have problems with online education, the problem is much bigger than COVID 19. What jobs will not require digital skills?

If your high school students have problems with online education, 

the problem is much bigger than COVID 19.  

What jobs will not require digital skills when they graduate?

Schools that do not teach digital literacy are not preparing their students for good future jobs.  The future of work is digital.  If the schools don't recognize that and the parents don't force them to adjust, the students will find out the hard way.
