The daily topic for today is:
Should High Schools Do More to Prepare You for Careers?
In case you don't know who I am here is my intro post from way back:

For most students, schools at every level should concentrate on transferable skills. A major in Italian Renaissance Literature has very little practical use, but, done correctly, can create transferable skills: research, critical thinking, contextual understanding, etc. Not everyone is cut out for cognitively demanding jobs, so vocational programs and apprenticeships should be available for them. This includes those who greatly prefer working with their hands.

Yes, they should by including more CTE in their curriculum including computer science.
More? Beyond pushing college as the only viable, absolute choice -yeah. College is NOT the end-all-be-all answer to a career. It IS the way to unforgivable, oppressive debt (and a shot at work if you manage to snag an employer's eye somewhere along the way) It seems like so many educational systems these days just want to push a learner into a debt system, rather than teach them how to earn a living. Not everything you would call a "job" has to be learned from a college tuition program.
Yes. They can give more introductory courses to health and tech fields where there is a need for skilled people. These could stimulate interest in the HS students so they can continue to take courses in that field.
It doesn't have to be geared only to a 4 year college. There are 2 year programs that can be taken with certificates given out upon completion.
I'd go with a #Yes,high school should really prepare someone for a career because most people do not have the opportunity of an higher level of education cause of some reasons mostly financial reasons.
I'd suggest that high school should:
In case of those who have opportunity of an higher institution of education, high schools can help in building the students on there career by
Thanks for taking time to write this detailed answer. You're a good stemian :)
Yes, Multiple choice exams are a Joke!!!! In Germany, you gotta write an analysis for example in english class and that every exam!
Lectures are a process to develop the abilities that have been obtained in high school
Graduates of bachelor are of course viewed better in society than those who are not in college. That's why it's important to go to college.
I am definitely one of those who thinks that the problem is not the highschool. everything will always depend on the student. It is not the fault of the study house if someone is not well prepared
The never-ending spirit is always needed so we do not decide to stop and collapse in the middle of the road.
The never-ending spirit is always needed so we do not decide to stop and collapse in the middle of the road.
For me it's a yes,because it is a perfect molding ground for us to be prepare on what career are we in the future but the decision is up to us whether what kind of person we want us to be.
But Aun still has its Pro and its Cons
Maybe not. Definitely not. Because there are lots lackings in our high school progress. Lots of corruption with high charge school fees. In poor families they are unable to bear their educational expense. Thats why many brilliant student not got the chance of good and effective education
I believe this is a bit of a moot point until teachers start getting paid what they deserve. Yes, the ideal would be to better prepare our young adults for the outside world but there is always going to be someone demanding where the money is going to come from. All the while, teachers may get some recognition and accolades but it's mostly just for show. Cut useless military spending and stop allowing our elected officials to give themselves raises on a whim and truly start investing in our youth.
Personally, I think more trade skill classes and introductory courses to business, science, and arts of all kinds should be offered. Let the young adults see what they may show an aptitude for and might be willing to work harder to achieve.
In the end though, unless we are willing to follow through with the funds and work towards making sure all students are afforded the same opportunities regardless of income, race, sex, and cultural background, I believe nothing of substance will get done.
The wise learn when they can. Fools learn when they have to
Education is the deadliest weapon in the world, because with education, you can change the world
YES! If only I could turn back the time, I definitely want to study high school to a school where they have so much to offer.
When I was in college, I envied those classmates of mine who came from a prestigious school in which the students there are named as The Country's Scholar. There's this one classmate of mine who happened to be my boyfriend, who always says, we've done that in High School, I already know that since High School. Then, he would teach us those who are foreign to that device or instruments and some other kinds of stuff.
We took the course Electronics and Communications Engineering. I don't have any idea
well, you can say I know nothing at all when I step into college, except for solving differential equations.
In our high school, math was given a higher privilege than science and technology. And that explains why I was dumbfounded in that area.
Also, my boyfriend told me that they were given a choice like if they want to become a doctor, nurse, or anything that is in medical world, then they can choose an advance subject that involves more of the science. If you want to become an engineer than they can choose the advance subject that is more on mathematics and statistics.
If you educate a man, then a man will be educated. But if you educate a woman, a generation will be educated
Yes, for me that it's an obligation, they must prepare us better

Prepare us better

I'm a bot. I detect haiku.
Education is the ticket to the future. Tomorrow belongs to those who prepare themselves from today
Absolutely.
How about a little insight as to what a career is?
What it means to be self-employed, or in a partnership?
This is too broad a topic... makes me angry to think about it.
So yeah, they could do more - so much more it makes me sick.
:D
Thou thinkest of yourself as a sheer piece of matter, wherein within you is the unlimited power
Learning how to learn is one of the most valuable tools we can give to young people in my view.
The function of the education system is to educate, therefore they should always put their best effort to send students as prepared as possible to higher education, send students with the least amount of knowledge gaps and that warrants a review of the curriculum of studies.
Learning is not the only purpose of our life. But if that's all we are not able to overcome, then what we will achieve
Should high schools do more to prepare you for careers?
On the one hand yes, since that would help our children to be prepared for college and the young people have more capacity to learn faster than when they are 21
While it's good to prepare students for careers, high schools should also better prepare students for life outside the classroom. Not everyone is going to want a career after school, nor will it be suitable for everyone. So, rather than preparing students for one kind of successful life (the one where they become successful career people), high schools should prepare them for other kinds of success.
That's why aside from teaching career-oriented skills, high school should be the place where we teach students the soft skills that will improve their communication, work ethic, and financial readiness. High school is also the best place for them to learn how to be responsible, flexible, respectful, and at the same time, professional individuals.
Live as if you died tomorrow. Learn as you live forever
Education is at the same level as sports that enable everyone to compete
Learning is not obtained by chance. He must be sought with eagerness and listened diligently
If you want to get laid, go to college. If you want an education, go to the library
If you educate a man, then a man will be educated. But if you educate a woman, a generation will be educated
One who stops studying is an elderly person, even though he is still a teenager. One who never stops learning, forever becomes a youth
If you do not pursue what you want, then you will not get it. If you do not ask then the answer is no. If you do not move forward, you will remain in the same place
If you educate a man, then become an educated man. But if you educate a woman, a generation will be educated
Learning is not obtained by chance. He must be sought with passion and listened diligently
Education is not a process for lighting an empty container. But the education of a process to light a fire
School and college do not teach us what to think about in this life. They teach us logical, analytical and practical ways of thinking.
Thinking is the most difficult activity ever. Therefore, few people will do it
If one travels for the purpose of seeking knowledge, then God will make his journey as a journey to heaven
Learning is not derived from mere coincidence. He must be sought with passion and listened diligently
If you do not pursue what you want, then you will not get it. If you do not ask, then the answer is no. If you do not move forward, you will continue to be in the same place
I do not think that High Schools should prepare people for careers The real question in my sense should be "Is the notion of career still actual?".
Indeed, a career can only be made when you stay and evolve within the same company until you reach your rent.
If you always need to change the firm and plans I do not think one can talk of career.
High Schools should most likely prepare the becoming graduates to run money wisely by using the different tools available in the economic system in order to protect them from giving too much money to the state and create a possibility to let money work for them.
A preparation would consist to get the young people to get ready to stay in the rat-race until the end and pay more money for the states than using it to live the life they want.
Thinking is the hardest activity ever. Therefore few do it
In these competitions, the country of origin of each one must be taken into account. For example, education in my country Venezuela is getting worse. Teachers and teachers with a high degree of instruction have left the country, and those who do not want to work for what little they are paid. So I believe that education in my country unfortunately has no solution until there is a change of government.
Religion without knowledge is blind. Science without religion is paralyzed
The goal of learning is to keep growing. Reason is not the same as the body, reason keeps growing as long as we live
Give a man a bowl of rice and you will feed him for a day. Teach a man to take care of rice and you will give him food for life
Education: Be able to distinguish between what you know and what is not. Know where to go to find out what you need to know, and find out how to use the information once you get it.
