[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dc prep and kipp get results from lower ses kids It's mainly drill and kill which is needed when folks are so far behind The end goal is foolish you are advocating for communism ina capitalistic society [/quote] Those kids largely fail at college or if they go to another prep school for high school. Signed, Former boarding school teacher who saw every KIPP kid fail within 2 years. Not their fault even, but you can’t handhold to that extent and then throw them in the deep end. They need to be thrown in the deep end so to speak before leaving KIPP to make sure they can do it on their own, but then KIPP would rarely have any kids leave them.[/quote] Those kids don't have the aptitude for college and a college prep high school model in the first place. High school should be a trades based education. DC Prep and KIPP keep those kids from getting into trouble by providing structure and teaching the basics so those kids have a shot at a productive life instead of continuing the cycle of poverty. [/quote] Not everyone has to go to college. There should be more trade and vocational high schools. I do think the US should place kids into tracks in high school. [/quote]
