Err… AP CSP briefly teaches the history of Cs but it doesn’t teach floppydisks as if these were still a thing.
Pushing for a comprehensive vocational program with 11-12th grade apprenticeships would be a first step but it’s very expensive. I agree with you that cutting these programs and pushing everyone into basic college prep was a bad idea but r was cost effective and most parents didn’t object.
In addition, it doesn’t change the fact that at least 70% 21st jobs will require a college education (certificate, associate, bachelor’s).
Complicating things:assive investments in education aren’t necessarily popular.
