Children today are expected to go to school and get a well rounded education. They don’t start specializing as apprentice to some master at an early age

- somenameforme 9mo agoRather ironic when you consider that Michelangelo, along with many of his contemporaries of the era, are precisely where the term 'Renaissance man' comes from.
- elevation 9mo agoWhile working under a master isn't available to everyone, some schools are trying to give students more apprentice type experience. I met a high school shop teacher who has his class buy, renovate, and sell a house each year. Students plan, use real tools, meet with building inspectors. It's a very real world experience and makes an indelible mark on a nearby neighborhood without committing everyone to a life in the trades. The feedback I've heard about this class makes me wonder why more of the schooling experience isn't more like this.
