Re: No pay differences for IS workers...
said by major marco  :said by jp10558 :HS is supposed to do all the basic life stuff - how to balance a checkbook, how to manage a household, basic math and the like. You're not supposed to need college to manage day to day tasks. What makes you say the above is what HS "should" be taking care of. Did your HS teach you critical thinking skills? Teach how to balance a checkbook or any of what you said above? Maybe HS has changed since I graduated in the 80s but mine did not teach any of the above. Interestingly enough, in my HS, everyone had to take 2 semesters of Home Economics. Now while many people blew them off as such cute names as "Homo's and Queers" and the like, if you paid any attention, it taught skills (with "lab") as how to cook and follow recipies, how to wash, dry and iron clothing, how to sew, and yes, how to balance a checkbook. The only thing missing was the credit card class. I thought this was standard at least in NY, but who knows.
There was also some focus on budgeting for the home and childcare.
