Tony Abbott, the leader of the opposition here in Australia has announced that the “right kids” should stay in school, while others go to attain apprenticeships.
The way that the media has portrayed this is as somewhat controversial.
Why? What is the problem with his idea?
It, I see is a win-win for all. For starters, those aspiring to go on to university would not be distracted by those with aims to merely get by and then wait to get a job after school.
It maintains that education is applicable to all, but it is not a case of one size fitting all.
There is such a hubbub around this matter, yet is the elephant in the room.
So why not address it? I see no harm there, but to begin with, by making it a controversy is already painting the idea in a tainted light.
