Really wish you people would stop talking about “snipping” vis-a-vis jackal’s procedure. I know what he’s having done. But, when you say “snipping” it has such Lorena Bobbitt connotations that I cringe and protect myself where it counts.
I think apprenticeship is a great way to educate kids- but not in all fields. There is a need for structured learning- but with professional fields like the sciences, math, etc being so complex and fast moving, apprenticeships would be accessory programs.
That said, experience is a great teacher. I got through school essentially teaching myself because I couldn’t hear what was going on in class. I never formally studied graphic art and design but I absorbed everything I could like a sponge. Still, there are gaps that I know a student with a degree in graphics arts wouldn’t have.
But most important, I think, are parents who are involved in teaching their kids, and teachers who love teaching. I know some teachers who do it only because it’s a job, not because they love teaching. No better way to turn off students.

I hear chimneysweeps have to start their apprenticeships younger on account of them being to big to get up the flue after the age of 10.
MM,
Why Robert Stern?
He seems a surprising choice for you.
did you catch the Vanity Fair
article recently on the 50 greatest
structures of the past half century
btw, I consider Vanity Fair a leftist
rag in terms of political objectivity,
but I do love their in depth articles
on all manner of cultural matters.
No reason not to take a hefty Executive Director salary.
