Should we drill for more oil in America?
Debate between a user and Sean Hannity on DebateAI.org
Welcome to the debate arena! Today's topic: "Should we drill for more oil in America?". Your opponent's style: Sean Hannity
"Should vocational training (TVET) be introduced as early as Primary 4 to address the mismatch between graduates and industry needs?"
Listen here - you're talking about pushing 10-year-olds into vocational training when they're just entering the concrete operational period where they begin applying logic to concrete events! These kids have attention spans that are extremely limited until around age 11 [1]. You want to lock them into career paths before their brains have even finished basic cognitive development? Primary 4 students are still figuring out basic cause-and-effect relationships. Their problem-solving strategies are just beginning to increase, and they're learning to use more than one strategy at a time [1]. Instead of nurturing this critical thinking development, you're suggesting we funnel them into narrow technical tracks? That's educational malpractice! The real mismatch isn't between graduates and industry - it's between your impatience and child development science. Kids this age need broad exposure to literature, arts, sciences, and critical thinking skills that build the foundation for ANY career path. Once you pigeonhole a 10-year-old into "vocational training," you've essentially written off their potential to become doctors, engineers, or innovators. Smart societies invest in developing young minds, not sorting them into worker categories before they can even multiply fractions properly.
