Yes, in other words this group is advocating that children be guided not to work, or to eventually find work they do not find interesting or stimulating.
Unhappy workers leads to inefficiency, but as long as the state had no part in helping them realize their potential... Then it must be okay.
"Minnesota has increased its emphasis on core academic skills at the expense of workplace skills."Guys,And, THIS is a major problem to our educational "leaders". Our schools must become "training" facillities rather than bastions of education. The idea is to train children as we do dogs and ponies rather than educate them. What passes for education today is STONE COLD "EVIL"!!! Please bump this. Peace and love, George.

Looks like an excellent article, George. Saving to read after the storm.
STW is definitely another plank in the communist take-over of this country. Many of our rulers have worked tirelessly hand in hand with the global money-changers across all spectrums toward this goal.
'The President of the Ford Foundation, Rowan Gaither, told Norman Dodd, the Research Director of the 1953 congressional committee to investigate the tax-exempt leftwing foundations, that the foundations received their instructions from the White House to spend their money so that the United States could be comfortably merged with the Soviet Union.'

Are you noticing how elected school boards are being disbanded in favor of boards appointed from the corporations? They outsource the best jobs, and let us pay to train our kids to do the menial labor they can't hire out. A few years back, I read where Utah was taking the kids out of class to be trained in cleaning the sewer lines, in connection with STW. Somebody has to do it, but don't use tax dollars for it and call it 'education'. Federal government has no business in education. None. They want our kids younger and younger in order to indoctrinate them in being dutiful little communists before they are old enough to read. DC tried to make it mandatory to put all 2 1/2 year-olds in school. Enough is enough.
About five years ago, my state decided that all juniors and seniors in the public schools would devote one day of school to a School-to-Work program (20% of their school week). If they chose not to do this, they would be required to work on their own time -- vacations and week-ends. Required, not voluntary.
People raised hell about it and the plan was abandoned. Most parents feel the public school's mission is to impart academic knowledge to students and that students will decide what they want to do for a living when they want to.
Any idiot could have seen this coming when the wholesale renaming of personnel departments was changed to "Human Resources."

This book will make you want to reject the public schools entirely.
