[quote=Anonymous]Let’s be real here OK. Many poor kids in this city are scoring 1 and 2 on PARCC. No way are they going to be college bound especially with these scores in upper middle or high school. By that time it’s basically too late and they are too far behind to catch up to go to college. If they even get in, which is highly unlikely, they will fail out. What you need in DC for these kids is vocational schools (mechanic, plumbing, carpentry, etc..) to teach them skills to contribute to society and support themselves. Identify them and have them take a few classes and go from there. It would be a hell of a lot cheaper. Not everyone is cut out for college even middle class kids. Better to have a vocation than a worthless piece of paper of a high school “diploma” as these kids are pushed thru with no competency. That’s what some other countries do that have a successful workforce.[/quote]
