[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]We don't need to start tracking kids as young as middle school but by the high school, that fair. [/b]Trades needs to be presented as a real option. We also need more options for post secondary education. We should bring back AA/AS as a real degree not just as a stepping stone to a BA/BS. An Associates can be a kind of white collar vocational training degree for paralegals, residential real estate, small business/property management, etc. It would teach people what they need to know for a specific job. There should also be an option for European style 3 year undergrad degree in a specific field. Students can either choose that or traditional American undergrad format.

There are multiple avenues for success- higher education should reflect that.

Agreed. Tracking as early as middle school means that a kid's future ability to attend universiry is determined by his or her performance in elwmentary school which is absurd. A lot of kids who are not great students in elementary end up being great students later on (& vice versa). [/quote]
Again, zero stats, my friend.[/quote]
