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!
