Would you still want your child to take an apprenticeship?


More to the point, would you? Is there any guarantee that you'll
try and teach them something?

It's guaranteed that I could teach them something. It's up to them
if they
want to learn.


Who says you are a good teacher? Knowing stuff does not make you
able to teach it at all.

In fact, you have already indicated that you are not a good teacher,
as you have already worked out your excuse should some one failed to
learn from you. You would just say the student didn't want to,
students fault. Cant possibly be your fault, right?

Hope you are not typical.

I'm not sure that apprentice learning is about anyone's ability to
'teach' as such. It's more about the apprentice's ability to learn
from someone who is a skilled master of the job that they are
apprenticed to. Apprentices have always been assigned a mentor who is
their 'master', and have always learnt the job as a result. Not all -
or probably even many - will have been good 'teachers' in the
conventional sense.



I don't know if it's still the case, but when I
was an apprentice 40 odd years ago, the 'on-the-job' training was
supplemented by day release at college, which is where your
'conventional' teaching of the theory took place.

I teach them theory when we are travelling to jobs. They are still getting
paid even if it is a two hour journey to work. If some of it sticks then it
is worth it
