I cringe, cringe deeply, to my core, when people try to create socioeconomic mobility by force-pushing tech and STEM and give-them-lucrative-careers content into schools. I cringe even though access to that kind of learning •is• important, and can unlock choices.
I cringe because at its heart, it is about meeting employer needs, not human needs. It is asking students to conform better to the world, not to reshape it. It does not treat children as human beings who are and should be free.
