81. Editorial Declaring Ohio School-to-Work - A Stupid Idea  Anyway, this School to Work initiative is buried deep, or at least disguised, in legislation pending or to be pending in both Washington and Columbus. http://www.fessler.com/SBE/listen.htm

'School to Work' - a stupid idea The Times Reporter Dover-New Philadelphia, Ohio Sunday, March 16, 1997 Commentary by Dick Farrell, Editor Listen up, U.S. Reps. Ney and Ralph Regula, state Sen.Greg DiDanato, and state Reps. Kerry Metzger and Jerry Krupinski. You may have read or heard something about the national initiative called "School to Work," a well-meaning idea that would, among other things, replace high school diploma with something called a "Certificate of Initial Mastery" which would be awarded to students who are deemed employable by age 16. Those who are not eligible would be turned over to something "youth centers" where the state would undertake the task of trying to make these educational misfits into something. Robots, maybe. Who knows. Anyway, from what I can gather, he "School to Work" initiative is pretty darn stupid. Count me among at least some of the people in this country who believe that traditional education is not broken, that there is no need for a national overhaul of education and that the main purpose of education ought to be something more than just job training. Anyway, this "School to Work" initiative is buried deep, or at least disguised, in legislation pending or to be pending in both Washington and Columbus. You might also want to know that Gov. George Voinovich is a proponent of such education reform (but apparently he is not in favor of funding the massive school renovations needed in this state).
