But he’s also found a kind of insidious prejudice. Working with your hands is seen
as almost a mark of inferiority.Schools in the family of vocational education “have
that stereotype..that it’s for kids who can’t make it academically,”he says.
On one hand,that viewpoint is a logical product of America’s
evolution.Manufacturing is not the economic engine that it once was.The job security
that the US economy once offered to high school graduates has largely
evaporated.More education is the new principle.We want more for our kids,and
rigitfully so.
But the headlong push into bachelor’s degrees for all -and the subtle devaluing of
anything less-misses an important point:That’s not the only thing the American
economy neds.Yes,a bachelor’s degree opens more doors.But even now,54 percent of
the jobs in the country are middle-skill jobs,such as construction and high-skill
manufacturing.But only 44 percent of workers are adequately trained.
In other words,at a time when the working class has turned the country on its
political head,frustrated that the opportunity that once defined America is
vanishing,one obvious solution is staring us in the face.There is a gap in
working-class jobs,but the workers who need those jobs most aren’t equipped to do
them.Koziatek’s Manchester School of Technology High School is trying to fill
that gap.
Koziatek’s school is a wake-up call.When education becomes one-size-fits-all,it
risks overlooking a nation’s diversiy of gifts.
