That last thing students is need is yet another hot topic on top of all the other crap they're supposed to be learning. There is far too much specialization going on. What the students need more than ever right now is increased focus on the basics of reading, writing and mathematics. Everything else, including future vocational training, follows from the basic skills of the "three r's".
