Prosser Theorem 5

I would have to disagree with the statement made in theorem 5. I believe there is a strong need for for vocational education in the development of a student regardless of their background or their goal. Without the vocational classes students do not get the same exposure to a work like environment, nor do they have the opportunity to experience or expound upon a number of psycho-motor skills not available in common core class. Further more Vocational Education offers students the ability to relate the things taught in a common core class to real world application. Another great purpose for vocation in high school is that it gives the opportunity for students to earn the ability to learn enough of a trade to come right out of high school making enough money to support themselves through college or support a family. Vocational employment may not be suitable for everyone but the experience that a student receives in a vocational classes. Lastly the value of safety, students in vocational class are exposed to an extensive course in safety in a number of areas. In my experience alone I have come across one hundred or more students that had never received a full course in fire safety, what to do if caught in a fire, how to handle a grease fire, and how to operate a fire extinguisher. All of which being extremely important, no mater what your choice in career.
