It's a shame that you teach at a wonderful, and yet the students are
unqualified to enroll in the programs. Seems like a waste, that their
standards cannot be brought up to the level of a career-oriented
program.


Our school district spends a lot of money on this school. It teaches, on
one hand, AP courses for the county's best students, and also vocational
classes for those who want to go that route. It is very difficult, now,
finding students who want to study nursing, auto-tech, building trades, etc.
Many of the students who enroll in the vocational classes are sub-standard
kids who choose these classes as a way of getting out of core classes.

Who will repair your cars, build your houses, and change your bandages in
the future? Likely not American-born workers.
