Via KHQ: Spokane is FINALLY setting up a vocational high school. Maybe they had one much earlier, but not during the 35 years I’ve lived here.
Manhattan, Bowling Green and Enid had vocational high schools in the ’60s. All are much smaller than Spokane, but they recognized the need for REAL education.
Until now Spokane has relied on its Community Colleges for REAL education, but CC starts at age 18. Ideally all of school should be job-oriented. Practically the specialized tracks can start at 14 after mastering the basics of reading and writing. Traditionally the vast majority of people started work at 14 and only a few continued in abstract school.
