Can you think of any way to fix the system without forcing everyone into an apprenticeship? The status quo in America right now is respect of the system for most because it’s easy and a clean path … hands-on learning wouldn’t appeal to all
The same argument applies to academic learning… it doesn’t appeal to all.
What we need is diversity in education—scrap the system of academic accreditation and the prohibitions on “child labor”. So that more academic-inclined kids may go for academic courses while more hands-on oriented kids would join companies and learn on the job (actually there is some of that in family-owned businesses even now; unfortunately the estate taxes tend to destroy generational family business operations).
