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 mechanical memorization, but practical. When did it able to name the 13th
become accepted
of books and tests wisdom that
and
students should be
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 ’s also 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 stereotype...that it ’s for kids who can ’t make it academically, ” he says
On one hand,that viewpoint is

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 face.There is a gap in working-class jobs, but the

who need those jobs most aren ’s Manchester School of Technology High School is trying to fill that gap.
Koziatek ’s school is a wake-up call.
