Re: Local newspaper Staff editorial ,Please Read!

I am afraid due to a copyright I am unable to post the entire article. If you are truly interested, the article can be purchased for $2.00 at the Schenectady gazette web site. www.dailygazette.com
Search "Letting business shape K-12 curriculum"

Basically the author seems to be saying that the Amsterdam 4134 Robotics program is a "Frankenprogram" created by some corporations sinister motives. The entire purpose is to create a narrowly trained labor force that will be obsolete in 15 years.

The author believes we need more Social workers, Lawyers and Teachers before we need more tech workers, (whatever that is). I am curious if the author understands the need for Engineers, Chemists, Mechanics, Machinists, Designers, etc. etc. add your own non-essential career to the list.
