Many years ago in a counseling degree program, I learned that people are fired from jobs more for poor social skills and not fitting in than for lack of job skills for the job. In any case, today I came across an article that provided the results of following high schools students for then years after graduation and discovered that "high-school students who had been rated as conscientious and cooperative by their teachers were earning more than classmates who had similar test scores but fewer social skills..."
Well, what if we stressed social skills in addition to reading, writing, and math from the pre-k level upward?
