Kohlberg’s Hierarchy of decision making…not just for morality but for politics and Critical Thinking. I believe that ND strives to provide it…at least when I attended…even an Engineering Student got educated to some degree in Philosophy/Theology.
Future leaders will come from all walks of life and should be “well educated”.
Back to the ‘trades’ issue…in H.S. we had “Shop” classes, and one of my Prep School classmates took a liking to Plumbing…has a summer home on Nantucket Island. We could also mirror Ireland’s approach…have “Leaving Exams” that separates College and Trade students.
