[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you are not going into college why do you need four years of these subjects? They've already talked about how the fourth year of high school is basically a pre-vocational/college year. It makes sense to focus on a vocation that last year.[/quote] To be an educated person? It's only 4 class periods, leaving 2-3 for CTE if that's the goal.[/quote] +1 It also keeps their options open. DH is from a working class family and grew up with the expectation of going into a trade and did a vocational track in HS. But, through that started working at a TV repair shop, got interested in how they worked, and was encouraged by a mentor to go to college so decided midway through senior year to apply. Ended up getting a degree in electrical engineering from the local university. If he'd been encouraged to drop academic classes it would have been even harder to meet the challenges of college.[/quote]
