Long before modern technology became a “thing” and took us into the “future”, communities taught young people about work – the skills, the practices, the ideas. This gave them the understanding they could have a future once they finished their studies, whether that be after elementary or high school (remember things in those days were much harder for the populace). Only the privileged were able to look toward university and college, or even finishing school, in order to pursue other endeavors. Students in those days were able to apprentice and discover/learn how to participate in whatever activity they were entrusted to do. And then time progressed as did education and expectations.
Today, we have students working toward university – the bygone days of the future as apprentices, joining the guild, working the farm, are gone; or are they? Lately, industries and communities are discovering the lack of skilled labor has put them in a bind. So passionate are the schools to send students to college for a better life, they have forgotten the infrastructure of our very society – and that infrastructure, in jobs, can pay (many times) much better if not equal to that of those with university education.
Schools began to take away the industrial arts classes in schools in the 1980s due to budget cuts and “A Nation at Risk”, which discusses the need to go back to basics and rigor in education, lest we find ourselves in a desert lacking intellectual abilities. And so the pendulum swung.
This week we have a look into the systems that have been set up in Massachusetts, and use those as a template. We can venture only so deep, but we are able to discuss what we find. We also discuss the beginnings of Vocational Education with W.E.B. DuBois and Booker T. Washington. Who knew what they brought to the educational system for us all?
Join us as we begin the dive and learn more.
