[QUOTE="KTMom91, post: 344418, member: 4040"] I suspect it is tied to NCLB. The test scores mean more than the actual learning. The push is on for all the kids to go to a 4 year university, which is a totally unrealistic goal. Not every career requires a university degree. And, if we are serious about leaving no child behind, we need to increase funding for vocational classes, so our children will have a practical skill and can find a job, rather than dropping out of high school. I know that Miss KT would not have graduated if she had followed her counselor's plan that would make sure she would qualify for a university. [/QUOTE]
