I am wondering how much of the soft/interpersonal skills are students learning and applying in primary education if there is such a push back against the human skills that come along side the technical skills. To me professionalism goes hand-in-hand with the "core" content. As educators we have to do a better job of incorporating that concept. In addition, our student have to understand that when it comes to their education, they can't ask for a drink of water and not expect it to come in cup. Their thirst for the core subject material may be satisfied, but to be effective and have a chance in their careers, students need to look at professional skills as the container in which their hard skills are carried.
