Phyllis Schlafly, in her return essay, "School-to-Work Will Train, Not Educate," in 1997, writes that school-to-work programs will produce employees rather than well-developed minds. Throughout her essay Schlafly angrily emphasizes the down points of STW: students will be trained rather than educated; students will have less understanding of the importance of their schoolwork; and programs will take time away from school, in which they are training students for jobs rather than preparing them for life. Schlafly believes that corporations will gain immensely from these programs because they do not have to pay students for the training they undergo or even take the time to train them; the schools train the individuals for the companies. Schlafly concludes with accusations that STW programs are undemocratic, making choices, privacy, and hope away from students. She argues that these programs are a way for "bureaucrats" to specify jobs needed only within the next five years and to place people in these positions. (WRAC 72).
STW programs have been under scrutiny because some believe they are the easy way out to real education. Phyllis Schlafly is the president of Eagle Forum, the author of "Child Abuse in the Classroom", and has been publisher of the "Education Reporter" since 1986. Phyllis tries to persuade people from supporting STW's.
Phyllis Schlafly is against the school-to-work program. She believes that STW was implemented as a way to work people, starting as children, from "the cradle to the grave." (WRAC 70) She believes that in STW the "work force development boards" will select program jobs. And that students will not be able to get jobs unless they have a "Certificate of Mastery." In reply to the STW regulations that vocational training start at the earliest possible age, but beginning no later than middle-school grades. Children at such a young age are not capable of "choosing their lifetime career.
