The author in the text seems to make a clear distinction between a vocational school and a university. One is for training, the other is for education; one is for making a living, the other is for learning to live.
Do you agree with the author when he seems to suggest that one is superior to the other? Can’t they be different but equal? Can’t this be a “both-and” question, instead of an “either-or” one?
I agree that they be different but equal.I believe that both making a living and study to live are both forms of growth—they simply differ in approach. We should view them equally. In either form of learning, as long as you put your heart into it, you can achieve success.Education should not be an either-or choice. It should be a both-and situation. People have different strengths, interests, and life paths. Whatever suits you is the best.
I don't think so.One equips people to make a living steadily, the other enriches how they live thoughtfully. They are not in a hierarchy; they are two parallel, indispensable paths for individual growth and social progress. A society needs both skilled technicians and thoughtful scholars.
Therefore, the distinction should not be interpreted as superiority or inferiority. They are simply different, but equal.
I don't quite agree with the author's viewpoint. Education and making a living both hold equal weight in a person's life. Survival and living are not an either-or choice but different paths leading to a complete life.
I donot agree with this idea. Vocational schools and universities are different but equally important
.Vocational schools teach us practical skills to make a living, like how to do a specific job well. Universities teach us knowledge and thinking skills to understand the world and live a better life.
They don’t need to be compared as "better" or "worse". Some people need to learn skills first to support themselves, while others want to explore more ideas. It’s not an "either-or" choice—both are valuable and necessary.
I do not agree with the author's implication that one type of education is superior. Vocational colleges and universities should be in a different but equal relationship. This is a matter of "both", not "either-or". Vocational education and general higher education are complementary rather than opposing. They each have their own missions and values and should be treated equally. This is not a question of "which is better", but rather "how to enable everyone to find a growth path that suits them".
I do not believe there is any superiority between the two. While vocational universities focus more on vocational skills training, and universities offer courses designed to promote students' all-round development, neither is superior to the other. Each plays a distinct role and assumes different responsibilities in society. Whether we attend a vocational school or a university, we should attach equal importance to both vocational training and the improvement of our overall literacy.
