Abstract
A favorite cartoon, F Minus, depicts a job applicant being interviewed by a prospective employer. The title of the cartoon is “Dale’s 4th Grade Education Pays Off,” and the employer is saying to the applicant, “The job you are applying for will require you to know state capitals, cursive writing, and long division.” It would be hard to find a more succinct way to illustrate the demand for effective executive skills by the time children reach adulthood and enter the job market.
