The purpose of education is to educate folks to live a successful life. Some will be white collar workers, other technicians. Sadly government schools educate white collar types and makes school hard for those going into the vocations. One of the reasons LAUSD has a 50% drop out rate is that they really don't want vocational kids in their schools.
"Serving 1,300 students in Clovis and Fresno, CART blends college prep academics with technical skills for juniors and seniors who work half-days in 13 labs. They include biomedical engineering, forensic science, engineering, advanced communications, and global dynamics.
CART teachers and administrators have had testimonials and anecdotal evidence from employers and students who said they found the real-world exposure to college and careers challenging and inspiring. Now, there is additional data to support these assumptions.
A seven-year study showed that a larger proportion of CART graduates go on to community college than high school graduates statewide, and also significantly larger numbers than similarly matched peers in Clovis and Fresno. To a lesser extent, the comparison also holds for graduates who go on to a four-year university."
Too bad LAUSD and most government school districts only want Harvard potentials in their schools, hence the almost 40% statewide dropout rate. Many government schools have failed our children and waste our money.
