  • Every student deserves a trade

    Started by Angus McNew

    College is not for everyone, but working for a living seems to still be a requirement (for those not planning to live on welfare and disability). Whether they are college bound or not, it behooves our secondary education system to provide a trade and journeyman status in that trade to every graduating student. What a different world we would have.

    Thanks for your thoughts Mr. McNew. Would you propose more classes and internships through the high schools for interested students or for every student?

    I teach school. I would like to see trades classes back in middle school and high school. I understand funding, but I know there is a place for this.
