When I worked in education my boss used to rant about how the system in California was designed many years ago. It kinda made sense.
- UC system was for the intellectual class - IE, not practical.
- California State System - More practical / Career oriented
- Community college - skilled trades and things like that. More for the masses.
What do we have now? The UC and CS Uoverlap a lot more and most kids really wanna get into a UC over a CS. The UC and CSU are more alike than different. Community colleges are all about funneling kids into the two systems.
She really hated how it morphed over time. She hated how every kid is pushed into the system and discouraged from skilled trades. Over the past 20 years I think skilled trades have made a comeback to some extent but its not nearly enough. Its gonna take a cultural shift before it gets aligned.
