One of the best ideas of chapter ten is setting up internships for student to see how the skills they are learning in school will impact their working career. It would also help students develop new skills and habits that might tie into schoolwork but they would have been unable to attain these skills in a class.
The best use of this that I have seen is in Mt. Blue High School, they actually have a branch of Franklin Savings Bank in the school that students can work at to learn bank telling skills. That is functional use of math and computer skills as well as professional social interaction. People will be in the work years of their lives for much longer than they are in high school so it is important that they leave school with the ability to perform a job.
