Cambridge, MA School Superintendent Focuses On Theoretical Professions



CRLS

Doctor Young establishes himself as a bonafide academic elitist. I misread his comment "All good partnerships work both ways, and this attribute is true in the rich array of relationships" thinking he promotes bisexual marriages. Gasp! Dr. Young lists some of the partners for CRLS students (see essay). Are all CRLS students theoretical scientific geniuses, and bankers? Who will fix heating units, plumbing, sell and maintain vehicles, cables, be a policeman, a fireman, a politician (gasp!), and the thousands of non theoretical jobs that are needed to support professional endeavors? Dreams and ambition are good motivators. But not everyone is an astrophysicist. Why are unsexy but essential professions omitted from his list? Do no practical apprenticeships exist in Cambridge?
