So we do not do this in our school. We have many avenues for our students to go into. We have 10 different trades, the military, and College prep.
That is fantastic! Thanks for sharing!
Pro
We have a Skilled Trade High school that our students in our three high schools can access
I am so glad that we have access to several vocation - technical high schools in my areas. My own son is an apprentice plumber now, and my daughter is a junior in high school studying veterinary science at one of the tech schools that our town high school partners with. My son did not want to go to college. My daughter is unsure but we are not steering her in any direction- we are letting her chose her path. I think that one of the best things about being in New England is the quality and variety of educational opportunities that exist in this region.
Thanks for sharing! We have “tech” school classrooms that have been converted to regular classrooms. Trade school… not ever broached.

While we have a county-wide skilled trades option, slots and programs are limited. Welding, construction, health science, law enforcement, cyber security, education, and mechatronics - all great programs, but very lacking compared to neighboring counties who offer automotive, firefighting/EMT, culinary, JROTC, cosmetology, auto body repair and other popular in demand trades. I run an alternative program. Of my last 50 graduates, two got into a trade school, two into a community college, and the rest to the local workforce. Our public education system is failing a large segment of our student population.
We gutted our vocational program to the point that our district only has two spots for each trade allowed from every school. So out of 2800 students from my school there are 18 total spots for construction, electrical, hvac , welding, fire/emt, digital arts, criminal justice, forensics and nursing. Everybody else ? Back to college prep you don't want. Another brilliant idea from the anointed class who knows what is best for our students.
If you would like a free chapter reach out to clkallis.com from the table of contents and I will send.
Thanks, all!
