[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We need to define success. Can they graduate high school, be literate, get and keep a job, and know enough to participate as a citizen? Sure, and that's what I would call success. Not everybody needs to go to a selective college. To me it would be important to focus for these kids primarily on literacy, basic financial literacy, civics, and practical job skills like technology, typing, and public speaking. In fact I think those are the basics for all graduates to know, much more important than algebra and chemistry.[/quote] I'm PP and I agree, hence my list of catching up and then focusing on trade skills. That said, what you and I would considerate competent literacy and math skills are far beyond so many HS graduates.[/quote]
