[quote=Anonymous]Being good at school doesn't mean you have the social skills necessary to be easily employable. You can be ackward, shy, and/or quirky and do very well in school. It doesn't mean anyone is going to want to hire you. My sister teaches high school and we just had a similar conversation. In the last 10 or so years she has seen a massive increase in the amount of accommodations many of her honors/AP students get. Extra time to turn in assignments, extra time on tests, parents get a weekly phone call or progress note sent home, agenda has to be signed off by teacher, student gets notes of lecture. Students and parents expect A's to be given and not earned. Students have tutors who help them complete assignments by oractically doing the assignments for them. She said there is no way many of these kids will be gainfully employed. [/quote]
