Why 'A' Students Work for 'C' Students and Why 'B' Students Work for the Government

In this book, Robert Kiyosaki expands on his belief that the school system was designed to produce “E Students” — employees. These are the “A students” who read well, memorize information, and perform well in tests.
According to Kiyosaki, schools are not designed for creative thinkers, visionaries, and dreamers — the entrepreneurs-in-the-making. These are the “C students” who often grow up to become innovators and creators of new ideas, businesses, applications, and products.
The book encourages parents not to become obsessed with their children’s letter grades. “Good grades” may simply mean a child has successfully forced a square peg into a round hole. Instead, parents should focus on concepts, ideas, and helping their child discover their true genius and unique gifts — the path they can pursue with genuine love and passion.
Kiyosaki shares stories of “C students” who went on to achieve phenomenal success and eventually hired those “A students” — attorneys, accountants, and other academically skilled specialists — to work in their businesses. Meanwhile, the more average “B students” often end up in government-type jobs.
Not surprisingly, Kiyosaki creates his own definitions for what “A,” “B,” and “C” stand for as he offers parents and children practical wisdom, insights, and tools for navigating an ever-changing world.
It is a world shaped by the Information Age, where the ability to adapt, understand relationships, and anticipate the future can determine success.
