Vocationalism Reconsidered.
Kantor, Harvey; Lowe, Robert
American Journal of Education, v109 n1 p125-42 Nov 2000
Reviews Herbert Kliebard's book, "Schooled to Work," which traces the evolution of the idea that public education should help train youth for jobs and assesses the impact of this idea on the organization of school curriculum. Kliebard's book discusses how the emphasis on increasing global competitiveness, reducing social waste and economic inefficiency, and producing more cooperative workers limits the options for reform.
