Page "learned" Paragraph 859

Teachers who have been upward mobile probably see education as most valuable for their students if it serves students as it has served them ; ;

that is, they are likely to favor a kind of education that has vocational-advancement value.

This does not necessarily mean that such teachers will favor vocational education, as contrasted with liberal education, but they are likely to favor an approach to liberal education which has a maximal vocational-advancement value, as against a kind of `` pure '' liberal education that is not designed to help people get better jobs.
