Comment on Future teachers in Oklahoma!
NatakuNox@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoThe issue is everyone in America should be educated up to a college degree level in core areas! Yes, absolutely we need more people going into the trades. But that doesn’t mean those people shouldn’t still have a college level understanding of math, reading, science, physical education, philosophy, health, history, sociology, and soooooo much more! We need to maximize the knowledge of Americans (of all people) if we are going to survive. Also that gives our younger people time to find themselves. In a perfect world you wouldn’t fully enter the work force until around 25 years old. Yes that late. Until then people should be exploring, learning, and practicing trades. Not grinding away the moment they are physically able to.
