Learning About Different Jobs and Careers --
Whose Job Is It And How Well Are They Doing?
While most teachers (72%) feel that the schools are responsible for telling students
about different jobs and careers, few teachers think the schools are doing a good job
in this area (Exhibits 1.10-1.12). In fact:
·
Only 25% give the school an "A," in this area, while
·
68% give the school an "A" or "B."
Parents and students also give the schools low marks in this area (only 27% and 23%
respectively give the schools an "A"). But note that they don't think the schools are
most responsible for this. Parents and students tend to assume this responsibility
themselves:
·
The majority of parents (54%) think it's their job,
·
While many students tend to think it's their job (48%).
