Prosser Theorem 5

I do not agree with Prosser on Theorem 5--"Vocational education is not for everyone, but for those individuals who need it, want it, and are able to profit from it." Plain and simple, every student one day is going to have a job. Almost every job requires knowing some type of skill or skills. In today’s society, it is those with skills that are in high demand. So knowing all that, how could anyone really agree with this statement? I think the school systems that require students to complete a career pathway as a part of their graduation requirements have the right idea. All students need to explore career options while they can and many of them can learn the foundational skills needed to pursue whatever field they desire. But again, I want to emphasize that all students will have to seek employment one day, so why would all students not need some type of CTE/vocational instruction? In my opinion, they all do!
