[quote=Anonymous]My friends teach in HS and they have heard nothing about vocational education in our district. Maybe because it is in a wealthier part of the county? They have plenty of students who struggle and have struggled for years. Many of them drop out but some of them don't. They end up with a diploma and then nothing. If they do go to community college, they end up stuck in remedial classes and drop out (with student loans to pay back). They are usually held back at some point in their school career because they can't keep up and these kids aren't taking the SATs for the most point. Without an IEP, they can't get accommodations for testing. If they don't go to college, they end up working in a low wage job. These teachers are bombarded even more than we are in ES with the whole "college ready" nonsense. It's over the top IMO. [/quote]
