It is curious that Stephen Koziatek feels almost as though he has to justify his efforts to give his
students a better future.
Mr. Koziatek is part of something pioneering. He is a teacher at a New Hampshire high school
where learning is not something of books and tests and mechanical memorization, but practical. When
did it become accepted wisdom that students should be able to name the 13th president of the United
States but be utterly overwhelmed by a broken bike Chain?
As Koziatek know, there is learning in just about everything. Nothing is necessarily gained by
forcing students to learn geometry at a graffitied desk stuck with generations of discarded chewing
gum. They can also learn geometry by assembling a bicycle.
But he’ salso found a kind of insidious prejudice. Working with your hands is seen as almost a
mark of inferiority. School in the family of vocational education “ have that stereotype...that it * s for
kids who can ’ t make it academically, ” he says.
On one hand,that viewpoint is a logical product of America' s cturing is not the
economic engine that it once job security that the US economy once offered to high school
graduates has largely evaporated. More education is the new want more for our kids,and
rightfully so.
But the headlong push into bachelor's degrees for all
一
and the subtle devaluing of anything
less—misses an important point:That' s not the only thing the American economy .a
bachelor ’ s degree opens n now,54 percent of the jobs in the country are
middle- skill jobs,such as construction and high-skill only 44 percent of workers are
adequately trained.
In other words,at a time when the working class has turned the country on its political
head,frustrated that the opportunity that once defined America is vanishing,one obvious solution is
staring us in the is a gap in working-class jobs, but the workers who need those jobs most
aren ’ t equipped to do ek’ s Manchester School of Technology High School is trying to fill
that gap.
Koziatek ’ s school is a wake-up call. When education becomes one-size-fits-all,it risks
