[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s a scam in some ways, but holy hell, has this pandemic highlighted what poor critical thinking skills many Americans have. No, one could argue those should be better taught in primary and secondary education, and I don’t disagree. But higher education absolutely serves an important role in society. It would be great if we had more of the German model of strong apprenticeship programs and valued the trades more. But that requires (1) kids to get tracked early in life and (2) a social safety net that the US utterly lacks, and probably will never have. So…? I don’t know.[/quote] In Germany, the poorer kids are put on the vocational track. Wealthier people's children get to write the abitur. Some regions do not have enough schools for every kid to be able to attend the gymnasium. Teachers push kids to the vocational track, sometimes discriminately[/quote]
