Nevertheless, I believe that students and their families need to have better information and choices for whatever path they wish to take. I have seen far too many students and parents who set college as the goal, but don't understand that passing high school classes and acquiring basic skills are a prerequisite to that goal. I've also seen a lack of respect among educators and administrators for vocational classes, as if someone who can wire a household electrical system is somehow inferior to a person with an english degree. The system should set higher goals for its graduates, but college should be one choice, not the only one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
