One of the things that bothers me about teachers is when they were still young, impressionable and wanted to get a passing grade. They listened to left wing professors, of which many had good intentions but limited grip on reality.
Now political correctness is being taught to our children every day.
The other peeve is any student that shows drive and intellectual ability is automatically shoved into an academic program. Medical, legal, engineering, accounting etc.
When they graduate with debt from student load and start off at the bottom of their employment payscale. The apprentice or tech college grad should be debt free approaching top pay step.
Dolts and never do wells get streamed into the technical classes.
We are loosing youth coming into the trades with drive, ambition,values and the dual talent of being able to think plus use tools. Too many engineers would have been better off carrying tools instead of papers.
While shops like customers purchasing lots of parts with a profit mark-up. The typical mechanic can't diagnose and solve problems. They tend to throw parts at problems until the fault is found by a lucky guess.
