Vo-techs at least kinda have to be based on the types of things they tend to teach, you can't really teach things like masonry out of a book, for example, that's one subject where you actually need to go in and get your hands dirty as it were, and actually do the thing being taught, to learn it, or really anything else having to do with building a house.
I could very much argue that this also applies to art school as well, but there's also a lot of theory and history and such that very much needs a lot of reading to pick up, although things like color theory are best picked up by actually mixing different paint colors together, as well as the practical side of things in terms of actually doing a painting or drawing or sculpture or whatever.
You don’t really go to college for masonry though
Not in the traditional sense anyways.
