[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where are the trade or vocational schools?
I tried to find some, but Maryland does not seem to have any

What kind of jobs do they train you for?

I am also curious why some people seem so determined to pass judgement on 7 year olds already and categorize them.[/quote]

Montgomery College, and other Maryland Community Colleges, offer many programs that lead to skilled trades.  You can study to be a carpenter, electrician, vet tech, CNA, childcare provider, network tech, cosmetologist, or general contractor at Montgomery College, and those are just a few.

Being ready to enter those programs is part of the definition of "college and career ready".

Montgomery County public schools also has a number of tech options at Thomas Edison High Schools.  Students are bussed there for a half day from their local public school.

But yes, 7 is way too early to be making a judgment about the kind of career a 7 year old should have. Elementary school should be about building skills that kids can apply broadly and keeping all doors open.
