Stop the nonsense. Mr. Orlasky is paralleling the liberals. His solution is his own individual social engineering. He says,
“To survive in the new economy you need education beyond high school, so we should keep up with the Europeans: They’re offering in their high schools career and technical training.”
Orlasky’s solution is to mandate or push boys into technical training. Follow the European model.
When we deviate from the basic model of “learning, reading, writing, and arithmetic,” we dilute the potential end product.
In Orlasky’s world the government would be teaching aviation technical training, but the curriculum would be fixing bi-planes.
