Personally, I'm all for trade schools and being able to be an apprentice. Many skills, if not most, or even all, rely on real world experience. Humans learn better and faster when they can touch the thing that they want to become.

But you need both. Tradesmen can teach only what they actually can already do well, schools rely on newest research and best existing practice.

We have progress because some people are theorists and are paid for using their time to think. And it's easier to disseminate progress in schools, where few experts teach a large number of students, instead of apprenticeships, where a tradesman can teach only a few students in a lifetime
