Report of Committee on School Inquiry, Board of Estimate and Apportionment, City of New York, Vol. 2 - Softcover
Synopsis
This book critically analyzes commercial courses in high schools and commercial high schools in New York City. The author was dissatisfied with the current conception of commercial education, which solely emphasized the attainment of clerical skills. They believed that commercial education should, instead, focus on the fundamental principles of business and economics, such as merchandising, advertising, salesmanship, and business organization. They supported their position by arguing that only 15% of business positions require clerical skills, while the remaining 85% require a broader understanding of business principles. The author also noted that business schools were not filling the need for trained clerical workers, as most businesses preferred to train their own staff. Furthermore, they argued that students in commercial courses were often less academically inclined and had a higher dropout rate than students in other courses. The author's analysis is based on a study of course offerings, student performance data, and interviews with business leaders. Their findings are significant because they challenge the traditional view of commercial education and provide a new perspective on the skills that businesses value. This book is a valuable resource for educators, policymakers, and anyone interested in the future of business education.
