He is a teach

2、er at a New Hampshire high school where learning is not something of books and tests and mechanical memorization, but practical. When did itaccepted wisdom that students should be able to name the 13th of the United States but be utterly overwhelmed by a broken bike chain?As Koziatek knows, there is

3、 learning in just about everything. Nothing is necessarily gained by forcing students to learn geometry at a graffitied desk stuck with generations of discarded chewing gum. They c so learn geometry by assembling a bicycle.But hes also found a kind of insidious prejudice. Working with your hands is

4、seen as almost a mark of inferiority. Schools in the family of vocational education “have that stereotype. that its for kids who cant make it academically,” he says.On one hand, that viewpoint is a logical product of Americas evolution. Manufacturing is not the economic engine that it once was. The

5、job security that the US economy once offered to high school graduates has largely evaporated. More education is the new principle. We want more for our kids, and rightfully so.But the headlong push into bachelors degrees for all and the subtle devaluing of anything less misses animportant point:Tha

6、tsnot the onlything theAmericaneconomyneeds.Yes,a bachelors degree opens more doors. But even now, 54 percent of the jobs in the country are middle-skill jobs, such as construction and high-skill manufacturing. But only 44 percent of workers are adequay trained.In other words, ata time when the work

7、ing class has turned the country on its politicalhead, frustrated that the opportunity that once defined America is vanishing, one obvious solution is staring us in the face. There is a gap in working-class jobs, but the workers who need those jobs most arent equipped to do them. Koziateks Mancheste

8、r School of Technology High School is trying to fill that gap.Koziateks school is a wake-up call.

11、nd solar. The move to renewables is picking up momentum around the world: They now account for more than half of new power sources going on Some growth stems from a commitment by ernments and farsighted businesses to fund cleaner energy sources. But increasingly the story is about the plummeting pri

In Scotland,for example, wind turbines provide enough electricity t

In March, for the time, wind and solar power accounted for more than 10 percent of the power generated in the US, reported the US Energy InformationA

14、dministration. Trump has underlined fossil fuels especially coal as the path to economic growth. In a recent speech in Iowa, he dismissed wind power as an unreliable energy source. But that message did not play well with many in Iowa, where wind turbines dot the fields and provide 36 percent of the

But a boost in the storage capacity of b

16、atteries is making their ability to keep power flowing around the clock more likely.The advance is driven in part by vehicle manufacturers, who are placing big bets on battery-powered electric vehicles. Although electric cars are still a rarity on roads now, this massive investment could change the

17、picture rapidly in coming years.While theres a long way to go, the trend lines for renewables are ing. The pace of change in energy sources appears to be speeding up perhaps just in time to have a meaningful effect in slowing climate change. What Washington does or doesnt do to promote alternative e

But, to be honest, I said it, because I thought that fashion and me together was just a dream I knew that no one could imagine me in the fashion industryat all!
