I think that is part of the point of the article. We are going to need robot repairmen and others with skills. Government schools are still doing things the way they were done 100 years ago, not just 40 or 50.
Let’s face it, the main purpose of keeping kids locked up in boring classrooms, marching lockstep with other kids based on age rather than progress or ability, is all about subsidized babysitting so parents can go to their jobs and keep the kids out of their hair. If schools were really about educating children, they would be tailored to individual students who could then graduate when they had achieved certain objectives rather than being warehoused until age 18. The entire system from pre-school through college is a dinosaur that just won’t die.
Not if the factories are in the 3rd world and we keep importing.
